Description

Interest in the Seven Commandments for the Children of Noah is growing, and many Gentiles worldwide have committed to observe them. Before Ask Noah International (ANI) published The Divine Code, a comprehensive, clear, and expert guide in English for observance and in-depth study of these Noahide precepts was lacking.

When it was published in Hebrew as Sheva Mitzvot HaShem, it was enthusiastically endorsed by prominent Torah scholars. It is unique among other books on this subject, as an authoritative text that is footnoted with extensive Talmudic and post-Talmudic sources. The Divine Code is the authorized translation according to Rabbi Weiner’s review and editing. It includes copious additional explanations and enlightening Editor’s Notes.

The book examines and greatly clarifies the foundations and details of the Noahide precepts. At the outset, Rabbi Weiner identifies and applies the fundamental principles for determining the practical requirements for righteous living, within Torah law for pious Gentiles. It contains eight sections, beginning with Fundamentals of the Faith, followed by sections that provide comprehensive explanations of each of the Seven Commandments and their many offshoots. It includes an Appendix on the Pious Gentile and Ger Toshav in Torah Law.

Several section introductions are written by the renown Rabbi J. Immanuel Schochet, o.b.m., a leading Torah scholar and author of popular books on Torah-based spirituality and philosophy. Additional section introductions are contributed by Joe M. Regenstein, Ph.D., a leading expert on guidelines in the meat industry for animal welfare; Arthur A. Goldberg, J.D., author of Light in the Closet; Rabbi Shimon D. Cowen, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Judaism and Civilization, and (the editor) Michael Schulman, Ph.D., Executive Director of ANI and Asknoah.org.

This book is recommended for late teen and adult Gentiles who desire to correctly understand and observe the Torah-based Noahide Code.
