You know them. But do you understand them?
The
Ten Commandments have become so familiar to us that we don't think
about what they actually mean. They've been used by Christians
throughout history as the basis for worship, confessions, prayer, even
civil law.
Are these ancient words still relevant for us today?
Their outward simplicity hides their inward complexity. Jesus himself
sums up the entire law in a pair of commandments: Love God with all your
heart, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Peter
Leithart re-introduces the Ten Commandments. He shows us how they
address every arena of human life, giving us a portrait of life under
the lordship of Jesus, who is the heart and soul of the commandments.
