Publisher Description

The 10 Commandments -- the laws given to Moses by God -- are beyond the scope of human law. They are rules meant to hold us together but, when dishonored, they lead to discord and violence.
In this fierce, articulate narrative, Hedges, who graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School, looks through the lens of each commandment to examine the moral ruin of American society. With urgency and passion, he challenges readers to take a hard look at the disconnect between their supposed values and the shallow, self-absorbed lives many people actually lead.
Taking examples from his personal life and twenty years of reporting, Hedges explores one commandment at a time, each through a particular social group. With each story, he reveals the universal nature of personal suffering, discovery, and redemption -- and explores the laws that we have tried to follow, often unsuccessfully, for the past 6,000 years.

Your friend Herbie ,

Religious nonsense

Good god, Hedges, you know better than this. From a man with enough courage and honesty to stand up publicly against the corrupt insanity of the Bush administration, or expose Obama for the fraud that he is, to write a ridiculous book like this only shows that you are still clinging to your religious delusions and defending your unreasonable beliefs in the madness that is Christianity.
Indeed sir, you propose that the root of the supposed moral decline in our culture has something to do with the insane babblings of bronze age lunatics who were driven even further into insanity by religious teachings? Get a grip dude, you cannot be taken seriously as a serious critic of the world's shortcomings and then prescribe to us as a solution, the Ten Commandments. Please do your history
