The Ten Commandments are so familiar that it is difficult to imagine how a book about them could be both illuminating and traditional, in the best sense. But George Ricker manages to throw new light on this ancient subject while at the same time not straying so far afield from a mainstream understanding as to make the reader feel alienated.

Dr. Ricker has provided a thought provoking look at the Ten Commandments. He presents the material in a format appropriate for Bible study. His use of holistic models as an interpretive key to reading the Ten Commandments will be helpful to a great many readers.
