Endorsements<\/h2>\n

‘Ignorance of, and even opposition to, the absolute standard for human behavior found in the Ten Commandments is seen in every area of life. Drawing extensively on the neglected Larger Catechism of the Westminster Assembly, this book examines the scope of each of the commandments in turn and helps us towards a right understanding of God’s perfect requirements for our lives. “Though the commandments themselves are brief,” the author writes, “their scope is vast and the whole of Scripture is a commentary on them.” One of the great strengths of this book, as of the Catechism, is the sheer quantity of Scripture quoted to show the duties required and the sins forbidden by each of the commandments.’ — TRINITY BOOKS<\/p>\n

‘Highly recommended reading.’ — THE BOOKWATCH<\/p>\n

‘A quality resource for teachers and preachers of the Bible.’ — HEARTCRY<\/p>\n

Book Description<\/h2>\n

Ignorance of, and even opposition to, the absolute standard for human behaviour found in the Ten Commandments is seen in every area of life.<\/p>\n

The main purpose of these pages is to focus attention on the Ten Commandments and to present the duties required and the sins forbidden in each of them. But before doing that, and by way of introduction, the author emphasizes their collective importance, points out how they relate to justification and sanctification and gives principles for their right understanding and use.<\/p>\n
