This guide to the famous rules does more than explain what they are or what they say, but why we need them. This moral code in the Old Testament of the Biblefrom which sprang ideas of justice, compassion, human rights, and freedomhas had such a strong impact on our society that it seems to represent what most of us think of as basic ethical reasoning. Even atheists like Richard Dawkins have offered up their own version of the Ten Commandments, and the strange thing is that many of them don't stray very far from the ethical teachings of Moses and Jesus. Bestselling author and apologist John Dickson explores how.
