This book is a lively, informative discussion of God's law and how it applies in our modern lives, as well as a refresher course on the basics of Christian and Jewish belief and practice. The author shows that the Ten Commandments are structured in four groups, emphasing God's exclusive claim of authority over us, addressing the basic human need for leisure and rest, targeting the holiness of human life in the context of marriage and family, and highlighting the neccessity of social responsibility and public virtue. Far from being antiquated or out-of-date, the author explains, 'The Ten Commandments remain an essential source of divinely inspired moral and spiritual wisdom.'
