Brilliant and intriguing title!

I think there will be a methodological question to deal with, as in, how do you go from text to 'ethic'? Check Richard Hays... of course, Rosner has been doing this for years, so he will know.

And, if you could find a non-theological voice that will be suggestive of the things you want to say, so much the better!

Thanks, I like the sound of it as well. (it was the longest title on the list - not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet)

And I'm well pleased to have been allocated BSR.

Thanks for the tip re Hays. I've added it to my library list for Monday!!
