Summary

The words of God carved into stone. But what did they really mean, and what do they mean today? In this two-part special, History unearths the answers to these questions, featuring insights from a distinguished group of scholars who examine how the Commandments have been interpreted throughout thousands of years and how they have challenged, changed and transformed human society. This documentary is joined by selected episodes from the classic series Mysteries of the Bible, and more.
