Offering a host of classic and new essays surveying the scholarly ethical and biblical debate surrounding the Ten Commandments, William Brown organizes his volume into three parts: the history of interpretation, contemporary reflections on the Decalogue as a whole, and contemporary reflections on individual commandments. A useful addition to ethics and Old Testament/Hebrew Bible courses alike, Brown's "The Ten Commandments" will be a standard reference for all Decalogue research, as it facilitates a helpful balance between moral, theological, and biblical study. Contributors include: Patrick D. Miller, Reginald Fuller, George Lindbeck, John P. Burgess, Nancy J. Duff, Paul E. Capetz, John Barton, Walter Brueggemann, Marvin L. Cheney, and more.
