Download or read book Tyranny, Taboo, and the Ten Commandments written by Hilton J. Bik and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-11-24 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hebrew Bible is arguably the most influential work of all time—the most prized, and most studied, literary possession of Western civilization. Yet its message remains enigmatic, obscured by the cryptic nature of its archaic vocabulary. Using the “Ten Commandments” as an illustrative portal, Hilton Bik explains how the West fundamentally misunderstands the Holy Word emanating from the East. Drawing upon an illustrious array of contemporary scholarship he demonstrates how traditional biblical commentary is chronically jeopardized by entrenched presuppositions that preclude an accurate interpretation of the exotic narrative. This unbiased, historically based analysis of the ancient manuscript yields some startling discoveries—insights that test the very foundational ideas of both Judaism and Christianity and question the commonly accepted nexus between the Decalogue and civil society.
