Moses and the 10 Commandments

A retelling of the Bible story of Moses and the Ten Commandments, exploring why the story is important and offering contextual information to make it come alive. It begins with the Israelites making their way through the wilderness after the Egyptians perished in the Red Sea. It tells of Moses receiving God's Ten Commandments, and smashing them after witnessing the idolatry of the Israelites. After the death of Moses the Israelites invade Canaan under the leadership of Joshua to lay their claim to the Promised Land. After the death of Joshua, the text tells the stories of the Judges, men and women appointed by God to rescue the Israelites from their oppressors, including the great victories of Samson, and his final revenge on the Philistines' temple of Dagon. The text is illustrated with artwork, specially commissioned from Italian artists, and there are maps to indicate where the events took place. Special context feature panels provide information on the story. This volume is part of a series of eight titles covering both the Old and New Testaments.
