Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Top Shelf Book Cover
Award 2017 The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, have long been a
pillar of Western law and culture. In more recent times they have
been a point of controversy in the public square. But on closer
scrutiny the commandments are particularly addressed to the people
of God. In the exodus narrative, their revelation on Mount Sinai is
framed in symbols of awe--fire, smoke, and blaring trumpets. To
this centerpiece of Sinai, David L. Baker brings his extensive
research and reflection. Setting each commandment within its
ancient Near Eastern setting, he clearly backlights their cultural
profile. Then, within their covenantal framework, he illuminates
their biblical-theological meaning. Finally, viewing each
commandment in light of our contemporary setting, he reflects on
how they cut against the cultural grain and shed light on our
pathway as the people of God. The result is a focused commentary on
the Decalogue. For anyone studying the Decalogue and Old Testament
ethics--students or laypeople, teachers or preachers--this book is
an indispensable guide to the "ten words" God delivered at Sinai.
