Part 1 of our 3-part video conversation with Leon R. Kass, author of “The Ten Commandments.” View parts 2 and 3 here.

Last month, Mosaic visited Leon R. Kass, author of our June essay, “The Ten Commandments,” in his Washington, D.C. office. We spoke first about the passions, the human heart and its longings, and the wisdom and guidance the Bible has to offer in a time of “cultural unraveling.”

To quote The Shadow: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” The Hebrew Bible knows, Kass says—and it can help.
