Why Christians Keep the 10 Commandments (But Ignore the Rest of the Old Testament)
About this episode
This episode discusses the significance of the 10 Commandments in Christianity and why other Old Testament laws are often ignored.
The 10 Commandments are the most famous laws in the Bible, despite the fact that most people can't name more than a few. Today, I'm joined by Bart Ehrman to discuss why the 10 commandments are so famous, and why Christians still see them as important, even though most of the other 600 Old Testament laws are ignored.
