| Summary: | The task of this essay is to introduce the essays in this volume, and to contextualize them by narrating one trajectory in post-Vatican II scholarship on Scripture and moral theology. That trajectory is the move from a preoccupation with method in the deluge of scholarship on Scripture and ethics in the 1970’s-90’s, to a contemporary emphasis on virtue and formation without such preoccupation on method. To narrate that trajectory this essay proceeds in three section. Section One offers an account of this focus on method in the initial wave of post-Vatican II scholarship on Scripture and ethics. Section Two examines certain “hinge figures” who bring this initial wave of scholarship to its fruition and / or portend future emphases. Section Three identifies a common emphasis in contemporary scholarship on Scripture and moral theology, as exemplified in both recent works on the Sermon on the Mount and the essays in this volume. |
