Description: And God Spoke These Words: The Ten Commandments and Contemporary Ethics by Behrman House Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Rabbi Rifat Sonsino has helped thousands of readers find God and uncovered the truths and legends behind the foundational myths of Judaism. Now, he explores one of the best known--and least understood--texts in the Bible: The Ten Commandments.The 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.In 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. He 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. Sonsinos 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.TABLE OF CONTENTS:AcknowledgementsAbbreviationsThe Ten WordsPreface (Download as PDF)Torah and Law in JudaismText and ContextThe Decalogue:The First Word: GodThe Second Word: IdolatryThe Third Word: Misuse of Gods NameThe Fourth Word: The SabbathThe Fifth Word: Honoring ParentsThe Sixth Word: HomicideThe Seventh Word: AdulteryThe Eighth Word: StealingThe Ninth Word: False WitnessThe Tenth Word: CovetingLegislation and CommandmentNotesBibliography Author Biography Sonsino is the rabbi of Temple Beth Shalom In Needham, Massachusetts.
