Ancient Words for Today: The Ten Commandments... and Beyond

By Mr. Robert Verne Epley

This book is intended to help you better define how you should live-what is right and what is wrong, and what is most important, most deserving of your interest, energy, and passion-and where God fits in all of this. The book seeks to be thorough and balanced; it is analytical and questioning, and it seeks to be practical.The book starts with the Ten Commandments, considering what each one meant to its original audience. It then looks beyond this to what Jesus and the New Testament writers have to say about the commandment, usually confirming, and often transforming the commandment. It delves into why the commandment was given (and why you might want to pay attention to it), and it looks at how it may or may not apply in our world today.It raises a lot of questions while doing this, and sometimes the answers are not as clear as you might expect: What are the Ten Commandments? What is God's name? How can I honor abusive parents? Are all forms of killing wrong? Is it sometimes good to lie? Didn't Jesus come up with a better approach?The book should give you a chance to revisit and reconsider how you live.
