Vztah Bible, biblické hermeneutiky a křesťanské sociální etiky: metodologické poznámky k utváření teologickoetické reflexe

The aim of the article is to present the relationship between Christian social ethics and the Bible as well as the related methodological approaches and limits. A correct handling of the biblical texts in theological ethics implies a differentiated approach. This includes fi rst the knowledge of the complexity that arises when applying biblical texts to the ethical refl ection of contemporary problems, secondly the familiarity with biblical hermeneutics, and thirdly the interdisciplinary cooperation with theological as well as non-theological sciences. The presented thoughts should contribute to a better understanding of Christian social ethics as a theological discipline as well as its methodological procedure.
