Description
Discover what the Ten Commandments have meant to people throughout history The Ten Commandments are among the best-known teachings in the Bible. As the first laws given by God at Mt. Sinai, they occupy a special place in the biblical narrative, yet they have exerted remarkable influence in other contexts too. They have shaped religious instruction, sparked debates in educational and political circles, inspired film and television productions, and much more. In light of all this, it is worth asking: why have the Ten Commandments had such an enduring influence? And how have people's interpretations of them changed over time? Old Testament scholar Sara M. Koenig takes up these questions in The Ten Commandments through the Ages, surveying how the commandments have been understood and applied throughout the centuries in Judaism, Christianity, and the secular world. She devotes a chapter to each of the commandments, providing fascinating examples of how they have been interpreted across differing social and historical contexts. Readers will come away with a richer sense of the significance of the Ten Commandments for past generations, and heightened interest in how they might apply the commandments to their own situations today.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
