Are Christian ethics limited to the New Testament ?
What role should the Old Testament play in the ethics of a new covenant believer ?

Not at all. None of the believers in the New Testament owned a New Testament. all they had was the OT. Paul didn't have a written NT to go by. Abraham didn't have the Mosaic laws.

So we should view the OT. in light of the NT. ?

Hm Ive been wondering about this as well. An in depth explanation would be great

What is the figure ? Perhaps someone might know,I think it's like 80 percent of the NT. is direct quotations of the OT. or something like that ?

Or should we view the NT. in light of the OT ?

What do you mean by ethics?

I mean your system of human conduct,this has to do with having a Christian worldview.
