The Path of the Righteous Gentile: An Introduction to the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah

The Path of the Righteous Gentile is, no doubt, on the short list of practical, introductory books on universal morality, as handed down from Jewish antiquity, it should only be studied face-to-face with an Orthodox Rabbi. For example, one might think that all thefts, no matter what the value of what is stolen, constitute a capital offense. It's not that simple in practice, given strict rules of evidence, court process, and so on. It is much like the unschooled think the Torah text of "an eye for an eye, etc." codifies lex talonious (retribution); where in fact, it is only for monitary damages, as in "the value of an eye for the value of an eye". In otherwords, the literal text "an eye for an eye" was (and is) never applied literally. The Laws of Noah are full of mitigating circumstances that require contextual explination by an Orthodox Rabbi. The princial problem is the non-jewish reader's theological dictionary is materially different than the Talmudic dictionary for the same terms. If the reader truly wants to understand this book, buy it and present it to an Orthodox Rabbi and ask them to teach it to you, page by page. (They cannot -- well, should not refuse, by the way!) It is their mitzvah to teach these to the Nations.

This was the absolute best book I have yet to read summarizing, not only what it means to be a Righteous Gentile, but also the best of Judaism itself!This is absolutly MUST READING for anyone returning to, turning to, or just plain interested in Judaism and what it means to be a Jew or a Righteous Gentile.

I struggled with Christianity for years until I found out about the Noahide covenant. This book is wonderful for anybody who wants to learn more about the 7 Noahide laws. I am now under the direction of an orthodox rabbi, and moving forward on the path that G-d wants me to follow. Most importantly, everything makes sense...no strange doctrines such as the trinity, just common sense straight from G-d through the rabbis. The Noahide movement is growing, and more and more Christians are returning to G-d alone. This book will get you off on the right foot.Shalom!

The law as given to Adam and then Noah and applicable to all mankind. Predates the laws given to the Jewish people at mount Sinei and everything else. A moral guide for man, simple, effective and was signed into law by former president George Bush.If you are looking for a path to the GOD of Abraham, Noah, Moses and Issac then this book will give you the information you need. It is Torah wisdom for the Gentiles. Easy to read and understand yet consise and to the point. A great book to start you on your path to rightousness. It changed my life!

This book explains, in a clear and reverent manner, the world's oldest monotheistic religion, the Seven Universal Laws, six given to Adam and a seventh given to Noah, and all reaffirmed to Moses at Mt. Sinai, laws for humankind for eternity. Noahism is a universal religion that is a blessing for all people but in particular for people searching for their place in spirituality. I purchased a second book so I may give one to each of my daughters.
