This book explores the place of the Ten Commandments in modern civil society, their relation to the natural law, their relevance for Christian instruction, and how they can help bring clarity to contemporary ethical issues such as abortion, killing, homosexuality, lying, greed, and many others. Written by highly respected ethicists, theologians, and Bible scholars from across the Christian spectrum--Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist--this timely work argues for reclaiming the divine authority of the Ten Commandments and soundly demonstrates the practical role of Christian ethics in public life today.
