ebook

1 of 1 copy available
Learn the story behind the ten laws that have been the guiding light of Judeo-Christian belief.
Not just about Moses, whose origin story leaves open questions, this book looks back at the time when the commandments were written, how the belief in one all-powerful God set the Israelites apart from other ancient peoples, and the roles the Ten Commandments have played in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It also looks at what each individual commandment means and how together they form the basis of leading a moral life as well as forming a just government.

      The long-running Who Was...? series (originally Grosset, now rebranded by Penguin Workshop) expands its coverage. This readable, informative volume is marred only by the caricatured cover art (typical of the classic series) and bland interior pencil illustrations. Otherwise, the book will give young readers a good sense of Moses's story. Occasional full- and double-page text boxes successfully illuminate related topics; photo insert included. Timeline. Bib.
