This accessibly written textbook has been a popular introduction to the Pentateuch for over twenty-five years. It identifies the major themes of the first five books of the Bible and offers an overview of their contents. Unlike some academic studies, it focuses on how the books from Genesis to Deuteronomy form a continuous story that provides an important foundation for understanding the whole Bible. This new edition has been substantially updated throughout to reflect the author's refined judgments and to address the future of pentateuchal studies.
448 pages.

I first found this book while I was doing a take home exam concerning the topic of people and land in the Torah. I found it incredibly helpful, and was so amazed by it’s information that I just knew I had to Buy the entire book. No regrets.
