This review is from: Metamorality (Hardcover)

It has been several years since I read this book, but I remember the impact it had on my thinking. Eric Butterworth is a good writer, and he presents his viewpoints clearly and validly. This book does not take a typical, fundamentalist approach to the Ten Commandments, but rather examines their meanings through the eyes of a metaphysician. He explains that a lot of times, the "Thou shalt not"'s actually mean, "Thou CAN not..." Then he goes on to explain why. A die-hard literalist probably would not enjoy this book, but anyone who views the Bible as a work of parable and metaphor may find it enlightening.
