The result is a comprehensive catalogue of ethical rules referring to behaviour on the international scene, which include not only rules but also a lexicon of moral terms borrowed from the individual ethical scenarios. The volume constitutes a significant addition to knowledge of the Hellenistic era in the 3rd-1st centuries BC, the universe against which Judaism and early Christianity operated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doron Mendels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567718271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567718273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Doron Mendels","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202151661823,"sku":"9780567718273","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8184e96-f800-4ec5-8be0-8d1af3196806.jpg?v=1756819781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-hellenistic-ethical-lexicon-doron-mendels-9780567718273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
