About the Book

What do the Ten Commandments say to us today? For many, they are remembered as a list of dos and don'ts. Their content may be unknown and, in today's morally relativistic society, they are no longer the rule for living or the basis of moral and ethical decisions. But what do we do when we need to make a decision about what is right and wrong? Dr Cowdell shows that the Ten Commandments are surprisingly relevant to today's morally complex world, giving us rules for living, as part of a larger, richer vision of who God is and who God is calling us to be. This book takes a fresh look at the Ten Commandments. It sets out to rediscover them, exploring their strength as an ethical code grounded in God's wider purposes for Israel and the Christian church. These reflections are practical, insightful and accessible to a wide readership. They come with questions for personal reflection or for group discussion, that have been tested in practice, making The Ten Commandments & Ethics Today an ideal resource for the individual Christian reader, Bible Study group or Religious Instruction class.
