Book Description

The Pentateuch (its Greek name, but also known as the Torah by the Hebrews) consists of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. From Adam and Eve in the Garden, to Noah's Ark, to Moses' parting of the Red Sea, to its conclusion with the death of Moses, the Pentateuch contains some of the most important and memorable stories in Western civilization. In this richly detailed work, which has become a standard in the field, renowned biblical scholar Joseph Blenkinsopp unravels (as Harold Bloom did in The Book of J) the radical scholarly opinions on just where these ancient and powerful stories come from, how they were formed, and what significance they have today. In the classroom, when professors cover these books of Moses, they turn to Dr. Blenkinsopp's classic for reliable, accessible discussions of all the important details.

Book Description

Why are there four Gospels? If we read one, do we really need to read the others? In this book, David Kerr seeks to answer those questions. The four Gospels, particularly the Synoptic Gospels, do not simply rehash the same material in a slightly different order. They each present Jesus in a unique way. In this volume, Kerr attempts to show how Matthew presents Jesus as fulfilling the Old Testament narrative as recorded in the books of Moses, commonly called the Pentateuch. Matthew uses the Pentateuch as his basic structuring device for telling the story of Jesus and his life on earth. Therefore, the Gospel of Matthew and the Pentateuch are mutually interpretive of one another. Jesus' life cannot be truly understood without the illumination of the Old Testament, and the Old Testament always pointed forward to Jesus' coming. In this study, Kerr explores the relationship between Matthew and the Pentateuch.

Book Description

"Can the Gospel really be found in every book of the Old Testament? Yes, it can in all 39 books, with a chapter devoted to each. While other books have focused on foreshadows and glimpses of Messiah Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures, Joseph Farah set out to find the Good News of redemption, repentance, restoration and resurrection. The result is a great resource for pastoral sermons, a reference for group Bible studies, a re-introduction to the everlasting relevance of the Old Testament to all Christians, as well as a breezy, non-scholarly read that will inspire and reinvigorate your faith in the miraculous nature of God s Word -- one cohesive, integrated message in 66 books written by 40 different people over a period of 1,500 years"--Amazon

Book Description

Idolatry in the Pentateuch addresses both the manner in which the Pentateuch was produced and how theological intentions can be discerned from the texts that constitute it. McKenzie attempts to read the final shape of the Pentateuch while not ignoring the diachronic complexities within its pages. Using a compositional approach to the Pentateuch, he establishes his methodology, analyzes several idolatry-related texts, and traces the theological intentions through an inner-textual strategy. Moreover, McKenzie briefly considers the history of interpretation through the last few centuries and discusses the state of Old Testament studies as he understands it.





The Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an

Book Description

Discussing the Bible and the Qur'an in one breath will surprise some Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But Anton Wessels argues that all three traditions must read the Scriptures together and not againsteach other. As his book title suggests, the three books, in the end, are actually one tale. Wessels accepts Muhammad as a prophet and takes the Qur'an seriously as Holy Scripture along with the Old and New Testaments -- without giving up his own Christian convictions. Respectfully reading the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an together, he argues, is of crucial importance: our world often sees these religious books as the cause of conflicts rather than the solution to them.

We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, “the Scriptures point to me!” In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol of a temple where people can meet with God; the prophecy of a servant who will suffer; the person of a king who will rule with righteousness—and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Cross and Resurrection.
