EXPLORING THE OLD TESTAMENT VOLUME 1- PENTATEUCH PB

The Pentateuch is one of a series of six introductory textbooks covering the Old and New Testaments. They are all written by authors who have extensive experience of teaching students in their first two years of university - level study. This book offers an exploratory approach that enables students to engage with the text for themselves, and not simply to be passive learners. It offers activities and challenges at introductory and intermediate levels, key background information needed to work at the required level, and ideas for further theological thought and reading. Students will discover: * the kind of literature they are dealing with * the major questions in the scholarly study of these books * the structure and purpose of the books * the major themes and theology of each book * issues for today arising from each area of study.
