The Ten Commandments
Interpretation: Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church
About this book
In this volume, Patrick D. Miller studies the Ten Commandments as ancient document and as contemporary guide. With careful attention to each commandment in its original context, this book shows the reader the modern relevance of these basic principles, as well as how the ideas of each commandment influenced the New Testament. More than an intellectual exercise, The Ten Commandments applies the call of the commandments to modern-day issues.
Westminster John Knox Press is proud to introduce an exciting new phase in the renowned Interpretation commentary series.

This expanded Interpretation series will be an excellent resource for all those who teach, preach, and study the Bible.
