Description

What if the Ten Commandments were not just a set of ancient rules, but a guide to experiencing the good life today?Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of “thou-shalt-nots” found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life.In this book of Scripture and inspiration, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings modern eyes to the most important set of ethics in history. He considers the commandments in their historical context, considering the meaning of each commandment in Hebrew, unpacking how Jesus reinterpreted them, and showing how every thou-shalt-not was intended to point to a life-giving “thou shalt.” He also explores how the latest research in science and psychology illuminates these commandments, rightly understood, as a way of ordering one’s life beautifully in the present day. In a culture marked by workaholism, materialism, and social media-driven envy, God has given us a time-tested path that leads to gratitude, confidence, and peace.In Session 1 titled No Other Gods Before Me, Adam Hamilton introduces the First Commandment, discusses Jewish perspectives on the commandment with Rabbi Arthur Nemitoff, and travels to Egypt to show you the sunrise over Mount Sinai.Running Time: 10:37Instructions: To stream a purchased video, login with your cokesbury.com user account, click on Digital Content in your account, and select Streaming Videos.Read More Read Less
