Paperback. Zustand: Good. The complex and surprising history of one of the world?s most famous texts In this lively and provocative book, Michael Coogan guides readers into the ancient past to examine the iconic Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue. How, among all the laws reportedly given on Mount Sinai, did the Ten Commandments become the Ten Commandments? When did that happen? There are several versions of the Decalogue in the Old Testament, so how have different groups determined which is the most authoritative? Why were different versions created?   Coogan discusses the meanings the Ten Commandments had for audiences in biblical times and observes that the form of the ten proscriptions and prohibitions was not fixed?as one would expect since they were purported to have come directly from God?nor were the Commandments always strictly observed. In later times as well, Jews and especially Christians ignored and even rejected some of the prohibitions, although the New Testament clearly acknowledges the special status of the Ten Commandments. Today it is plain that some of the values enshrined in the Decalogue are no longer defensible, such as the ownership of slaves and the labeling of women as men?s property. Yet in line with biblical precedents, the author concludes that while a literal observance of the Ten Commandments is misguided, some of their underlying ideals remain valid in a modern context.…

For thousands of years now, Egypt has mystified and intrigued people from all walks of life, ranging from archeologists and other experts to regular folks who just have a healthy curiosity. Something about the ancient megalithic structures the Egyptians left behind draws us in and piques our curiosity. The idea that these supposedly primitive people accomplished such impressive feats of engineering so long ago is a testament to human resolve and ingenuity. Not only did ancient Egypt prosper and achieve greatness during its time, but this civilization also impacted the world that came after it in many ways. The imprint left behind by the Egyptians comes as no surprise since their history roughly spans a period of three-thousand years. Ancient Egypt lasted much longer than many other famous civilizations and empires. The history of ancient Egypt is so vast and important that the pursuit of knowledge about this civilization has spawned relevant scientific disciplines such as Egyptology. Let Dinobibi guide you through that story and put many things about ancient Egypt in perspective by chronologically exploring the civilization's history as well as many aspects of society and life. Let's discover how and why ancient Egypt prospered and how this majestic civilization shaped the world well beyond its region.…
