HISTORY Classics - The Ten Commandments - [DVD]

The most famous document in all history, the Ten Commandments are the words of God carved into stone. But what do they mean and how do they still apply to society today Join a distinguished group of scholars as they explore these questions and examine what issues have been raised over the years, as well as analyzing the punishments that have been handed out if the commandments were broken. We also look at why this set of rules became central to the whole of Western civilization, why Moses ordered the killing of three thousand fellow Hebrews at Sinai and whether the original document, said to be preserved in the sacred Ark of Covenant, could actually still exist."
