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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499145568629,"sku":"9780567718310","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780567718310.jpg?v=1786694458","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/hellenistic-ethical-lexicon","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
