Synopsis
In The Origins of Christian Morality, Meeks examines ancient sources and records in order to discover the bases of ideas and moral codes that are taken for granted in modern Christianity. Using The Bible, as well as historical records, Meeks discusses good and evil, the understanding of the body, attitudes towards life and the world, and the communal spirit underlying Christian moral conduct. What is especially interesting is Meek's analysis of the New Testament, which he interpretes by combining historical, spiritual and literary perspectives.
