William Barclay, former Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at Glasgow University, saw the Ten Commandments as the universal foundation of all things: the basic laws of human conduct in society and the cornerstone of community existence. Drawing on his vast knowledge of both Old and New Testaments, Professor Barclay examines the ways in which the Ten Commandments demand reverence for God and respect for humankind. This book shows readers how the Ten Commandments, perhaps considered negative and outmoded of late, can and do remain relevant today and still apply to people in their daily lives. Through powerful anecdotes - and with his trademark clarity of expression - Professor Barclay shows that, far from being restrictive, the Ten Commandments are in fact a "charter for democracy."
