Harold J. Berman
"This is an important work -- one that traces successive
understandings of the Ten Commandments from early times to our own
time and thus challenges us to make the Ten Commandments the basis
of our own twenty-first-century morality. " Brian Tierney
"This wise and far-ranging book leads us to a deeper understanding
of the Ten Commandments by explaining how their teachings were
reflected in the works of more than thirty authors from Philo
Judeus to Nietzsche. Paul Grimley Kuntz shows how the Commandments
are not just the tabus of an ancient Near Eastern people but
permanent principles of orderly life applicable in all ages. Mosaic
Paradigms will be a valuable resource for students of religious
history and for all who are interested in the moral foundations of
Western civilization. "
