Term
| seven ways that the ten commandments are unique among other ancient near eastern legal codes |
|
Definition
1. the ten commandments have no parallel legal codes in history
2. this is not a separate document; it is embedded in the longer narrative
3. the laws are eternal, and they apply to everyone universally without conditions
4. moses is not responsible for producing theses laws, he is merely god's agent
5. there is an amazing and total absence of any description of specific penalties for the violation of these commandments. the appeal is made to conscience.
6. the entire nation is one unit and the obligation to keep the law is national.
7. the law reflects an intentional interweaving of religious and daily lives. a professed belief in god is worthless unless we care about others. |
