The Ten Commandments

Dr. Fox examines the biblical Decalogue as a practical treatise on human psychology—translating ancient scriptural verses into workable mental principles.

This volume draws upon lectures delivered to thousands at the Manhattan Opera House in New York City, presenting the laws of Exodus as an inspiring Bible study in scientific prayer.

The chapters treat each commandment as an inescapable law of mental life rather than an external prohibition. He explains how prayer and the realization of divine presence resolve everyday difficulties.
