The Ten Commandments: Where Religion got It Wrong (The Uncomfortable Truth)

By J.P. Longenecker

What if everything you were taught about the Ten Commandments was designed to keep you from seeing what they actually say?

This is not an attack on God. It's an account of what religion did with His instructions.

Ten commandments. Five words each on average. Simple enough for a child to understand, clear enough that no theologian should have needed two thousand years to explain them. And yet somehow, the institution built cathedrals, hierarchies, and entire systems of guilt on top of them, while quietly walking away from what they actually demand.

The Ten Commandments: Where Religion Got It Wrong goes back to the original Hebrew, one commandment at a time, and asks the question the church would rather you not ask: what did God actually say, and what did we do with it?

You'll learn why "thou shalt not kill" is a mistranslation the institution never bothered to correct. Why the Sabbath was never about church attendance. Why coveting isn't about greed, but about the moment everything else begins. Why the gold on the altar might be the very thing the Second Commandment warned you about.

This book doesn't ask you to abandon your faith. It asks you to look directly at the gap between what's carved on the wall and what happens in the building, and decide for yourself which one is telling the truth.

Pro-God. Pro-truth. Uncomfortable by design.
