These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. Sadly, this is not the case. Our schools ignore them and our churches and synagogues take them for granted.
SynopsisThe most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western Civilization. Given their staggering importance, you would think that all societies, and certainly our educational and religious institutions, would be intent on studying them closely. Sadly, this is not the case. Our schools ignore them and our churches and synagogues take them for granted. But here's a simple test: Who among us can even name all of the Ten Commandments? And even among those who can name them, how many can explain them in a way that makes sense to the modern eye and ear? If you are a person of faith, this book will strengthen it; if you are agnostic it will force you to rethink your doubts; if you're atheist, it will test your convictions. For people who have thought little about the Ten Commandments, as well as for those who have a sophisticated understanding of them, it will be a revelation. That's a lot to ask of a little book, but the only thing that's little here is the length. The ideas are very big., Imagine a world where every single man, woman, and child obeyed the Ten Commandments. There would be no murder and no theft. We wouldn't need armies or police. It would be a world free of lies, tyranny, and cruelty. The Ten Commandments are humanity's recipe for a good world--and it's a recipe we've had and handed down for 3,000 years. Even atheists have to admit that God's Ten Commandments are a valuable moral code. In The Ten Commandments , noted ethicist and popular talk show host Dennis Prager provides a rich, in-depth analysis of each commandment, showing readers how powerful these 3,000-year-old rules are and how following them will better our world.
