| Summary: | The Hebrew Bible -- A brief historical overview of the biblical period -- "A kind of history"; who wrote the Bible? -- The development of Jewish law : from biblical times to modernity -- The Bible in Jewish life; the Bible in Christian life -- What does the Bible say about life today? "As a chapter-by-chapter introduction to the Torah (the Pentateuch, or the first five books of the Bible), this work provides a source for interfaith study of the Five Books of Moses; it provides a wealth of representative examples of the Torah in the Christian scriptures and in the rabbinic teachings of the midrash and the Talmud." "There are sections on the Torah as a source of inspiration, its place in the ritual and prayer life of the synagogue, the term "Old Testament," and how the divisions of the Hebrew Bible compare to standard Christian editions of the Bible. In addition, major chapters are devoted to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy." "Other topics include a brief historical overview of the biblical period, the place of women in the Bible, who wrote the Torah, the development of Jewish law, the Torah in Jewish life, the Torah in Christian life, and what the Torah says about life today."--Jacket |
