The Paine Commandments is a 1956 American epic religious drama film about Thomas Paine's commentary on Moses's Laws.

History

In the late eighteenth century, the deist Thomas Paine commented at length on Moses's Laws in The Age of Reason (1794, 1795, and 1807). Paine considered Moses to be a "detestable villain", and cited Numbers 31 as an example of his "unexampled atrocities".
