God gave man Ten Commandments. Every one of them is vital, in all ages. For only by observing them can man live a full life each week; maintain a happy marriage; and function well in his home, his job, and even in the world internationally. God Himself is the Root of the Moral Law, and perfectly reflects it. Salvation was never by the works of the Law. For even before the fall, man was to keep it out of gratitude for God’s great grace. Unfallen man kept the whole Decalogue. The Sabbath, Marriage, the Forbidden Fruit, and the Tree of Life all reveal it. When man broke God’s Law, he degenerated more and more―from the Fall to the Flood. The Patriarchs kept it, and the Prophets called man back to keep it. So, too, should we.
Francis Nigel Lee, born in 1934, is a Preacher, theologian, lawyer, educationist, historian, philosopher and author.
Dr. Lee's father was an Atheist, who married a Roman Catholic. Lee's mother raised him in that faith. At the onset of the Second World War, the Lee family moved to South Africa.
Dr. Lee is a Calvinist and a postmillennialist. He is a strong advocate of infant baptism.
After he moved to South Africa, Dr. Lee became a Calvinist, and later a Minister of Word and Sacraments in the Reformed Church of Natal.
After emigrating to the US, he attended the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, and became a minister of that denomination. Within the PCA he pastored congregations in Mississippi and Florida.
Lee has produced more than 300 publications (including many books), some of which are available at his website.
God's Ten Commandments: Yesterday, Today, Forever is a fantastic book on the TEN WORDS of the Lord.
Lee ably shows that Adam and Eve knew the Ten Commandments, as well as the early patriarchs. They were enforced by the Prophets, validated for NT believers by Christ and His Apostles, and taught as binding by the early Church and through Church history.
A fascinating section is where Lee explains the presence of the Ten Commandments in the life of Adam and Eve. I highly encourage this book to both novices and seasoned students of God's Law.
