Now, he explores one of the best known--and least understood--texts in the Bible: The Ten Commandments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ten Commandments loom large as ethical and moral guideposts in the Western world. These statutes have informed much of Judaism and Christianity over the past two thousand years and stand at the center of many modern legal and political debates. However, attention to the remarkable and well-established influence of these words often glosses over the actual text and context of the biblical sources themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn And God Spoke These Words, Rabbi Sonsino draws on commentators from Maimonides to Mel Brooks to explore how the Ten Commandments have been interpreted--and misinterpreted--for generations. \u003c\/b\u003eHe examines the religious and legal texts of the Israelites' neighbors in the Ancient Near East, surveys centuries of Rabbinic commentary, and engages with contemporary secular and Jewish thought. Sonsino's thorough contextualization and discussion of the Decalogue provide the reader with an understanding of where these iconic commands originate, how they have been understood by Jews throughout the ages, and what moral direction they can still provide in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ten Words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface (Download as PDF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorah and Law in Judaism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText and Context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Decalogue: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Word: God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Second Word: Idolatry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Third Word: Misuse of God's Name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fourth Word: The Sabbath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fifth Word: Honoring Parents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sixth Word: Homicide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Seventh Word: Adultery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eighth Word: Stealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ninth Word: False Witness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tenth Word: Coveting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegislation and Commandment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.9 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44071448215686,"sku":"9780807412336","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/3446\/5926\/files\/7du14BLyan9780807412336.webp?v=1781576591","url":"https:\/\/profixdiy.com\/products\/and-god-spoke-these-words-the-ten-commandments-and-contemporary-ethics-paperback","provider":"ProFix Home Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
