The redemption wrought by Christ does not annul the Decalogue; rather, it rescues us from sin so that we may live for God in holiness of life. In this redemptive context, the Ten Commandments serve as a sure guide for Christian living in light of Christ's work and the illumination of the Spirit. Furthermore, the Ten Commandments provide all humanity with a fundamental ethical framework for harmonious social life.
The author addresses many contemporary moral problems in light of the Decalogue's ethical framework: the abuse of the vulnerable, property crime, divorce, alcoholism, racism, capital punishment, economic systems, homosexuality, etc. This is a masterful work that will illuminate our lives with the will of God.
