Fences of Freedom - Rob Yule

Summary:

In this timely book, Rob Yule examines the background, use and abiding relevance of the Ten Commandments.

The Ten Commandments are the fountainhead and moral undergirding of Western civilization. Yet they are widely disregarded in today's secular society.

Many people are morally confused in our permissive culture. The Ten Commandments are exactly what we need; a brief and memorable summary of what is right and wrong.

The author shows the significance of the Ten Commandments for a wide range of important issues:

- Their divine origin, which distinguishes them from human codes and legislation
- Their role in the development of monotheism and the origins of modern science
- Their importance in preserving human life from self-imposed slavery
- Their value for parenthood and family relations, marriage and sexuality
- Their validation of the value of life, personal property and truthfulness
- Their relation to the moral law, the law of nature

What They're Saying:

"What is unique about Yule's work is his familiarity with an array of topics and ability to connect readers to the past as well as present-day popular culture. It is based on sound research, yet he writes with a passion for his subject, and makes you think about how you can live within the Ten Commandments' moral code. His tone is engaging and informative, skillfully making ethical points without being judgmental."
