About this title

Synopsis

THE BATTLE OVER the TEN COMMANDMENTS: Challenging the Witness of Christians in Society is set in the context of the current court battles by some Christians to bring back the Ten Commandments in public schools and other public places. The book recasts the debate in a radically new light, and calls upon the wisdom of religious persons on both sides of this controversy to unite and serve in the interest of Christ Jesus and the Church because a house divided cannot stand.
