Looking for Answers about Westminster John Knox Press The Ten Commandments for Today?

Christians and non-Christians alike are very familiar with the Ten Commandments. They are more then tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai. They are God's instructions for how we are to live. Walter J. Harrelson interprets these ancients laws and makes them applicable in today's lifestyle.

The For Today series is intended to provide reliable and accessible resources for the study of important biblical text, theological documents, and Christian practices. The series is written by experts who are committed to making the results of their studies available to those with no particular biblical or theological training. The emphasis is not only on what these subjects have meant in the past, but also on their value in the present.

Walter J. Harrelson is University Professor of Hebrew Bible at Wake Forest Divinity School and Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
