God Of Justice
$16.18
With the Ten Commandments such an integral part of today’s “culture wars,” it would seem to be a safe assumption that most people are familiar with what the commandments actually say. Yet many surveys indicate otherwise — and even when people can name all of the commandments, they often misinterpret their meaning.
For example:
* “Do not take the Lord’s name in vain” has nothing to do with avoiding getting one’s mouth washed out with soap;
* “Remember the sabbath day” is not about going to church;
* “Honor your father and mother” is not a way to get recalcitrant kids to clean up their rooms;
* and despite what most folks think, “You shall not commit adultery” is not primarily about sex!
In God of Justice, David Leininger sets the record straight with a new look at this ancient document. He examines the commandments in the context of today’s social, cultural, and political environment — and he concludes that rather than the traditional view of them as ironclad laws, the commandments are actually God’s policy statements about what is the bedrock of a good, decent, and just society. When properly understood, the commandments offer God’s guidance in establishing a healthy way of life that is rewarding for everyone. With discussion questions included for each chapter, God of Justice is an excellent study resource for adult classes — and clear and accessible reading that will be stimulating and rewarding for any thoughtful Christian.
