A fresh, universal approach to the Decalogue and the Litany offers clear, practical ethics for today.

It reimagines these old texts to speak to people of all backgrounds without relying on shared dogma.

This edition moves beyond traditional forms by removing supernatural framing and focusing on universal ethical guidance. It aims to illuminate the core ideas in a way that can be used in families, schools, and communities, while inviting readers to consider how ancient ideas apply to modern life.
What you’ll experience

A thoughtful framework that protects individual rights—life, property, truth, and family—within a universal ethic.
Language and explanations that welcome readers from diverse religious backgrounds, including Buddhists and Shintoists.
Reflections on current social issues, such as poverty, parenting, and education, integrated into a humane ethical vision.
Guidance on how speech, honesty, and respectful conduct can shape everyday life and public life.

Ideal for readers of ethics, religious studies, and interfaith perspectives, or anyone seeking a modern, accessible take on these foundational texts.
