The Ten Commandments

Examines biblical accounts of Moses on the Mount, and then looks at each of the 10 Commandments in historical context. Adultery, perjury, murder, theft, graven images, Sabbath laws, coveting--what did they mean then? And do they mean anything today? Lawrence M. Friedman and many others are interviewed. They discuss how the issues raised by the 10 Commandments have been viewed--and punished, throughout history and how their general principles have formed the base of much of U.S. law.
