This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World, Genesis, and Theology of the Pentateuch sets its focus on God’s redemption of the entire human race following the entrance of sin into the physical time–space (i.e., the physical universe, physical realm of creation). Redemption didn’t begin in the New Testament, but in the first book of the Bible called Genesis. As such, God has been reaching out to people through various means, methods, and ways to rebuild the divine and human relationship that became broken by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan understood God’s plan to save humanity and never set idly by to watch his purposes unfold in the lives of people. He countered by introducing a false narrative of the origin of people and the universe to all of those willing to believe him, and surrender faith in place of what can be explained away or sounds good. The counter–narrative to God’s inspired message of creation is evolution. It purports teachings by people who reject the creation account in Genesis chapter one. Evolution is therefore populism. It floods the education systems and many other worldly institutions under the disguise of being scientific, which is not scientific at all. Other counter–narratives extending out of evolution includes the evolution of the species and the big bang theory, which two systems that stand in opposition to the Bible. Additional points of emphasis include: Redemption began with the fall of humanity in Genesis and was completed in Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It uncovers how redemption began and took shape in beginning stages of human history, and how God’s plan of redemption became clearer with the personal calling of Abraham through Israel and Moses. The 5 books of Moses called the Pentateuch embodies one–third of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) prior to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Genesis leads the way in God’s message to the human race. The ancient Gentile nations that vowed allegiance to other exalted deities apart from God manufactured their own religions, beliefs, literature, and teachings they tied to the deities they revered as divine. Such writings became the nucleus through which the nations viewed the world from the concept of religion, their gods, and the afterlife; and thereby competed with the knowledge of Israel’s concepts in the way they viewed the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Redemption is not and cannot be found in other forms of worldly wisdom, knowledge, and teaching. But God’s concept of people accepting him on the basis of faith in his word mirrors the example of Abraham’s faith in the one true God that created all things that exist. John M. Powell, PhD (ABD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis contains foundational material for Jewish and Christian theology, both historic and contemporary, and is almost certainly the most appealed-to book in the Old Testament in contemporary culture. R. W. L. Moberly's The Theology of the Book of Genesis examines the actual use made of Genesis in current debates, not only in academic but also in popular contexts. Traditional issues such as creation and fall stand alongside more recent issues such as religious violence and Christian Zionism. Moberly's concern - elucidated through a combination of close readings and discussions of hermeneutical principle - is to uncover what constitutes good understanding and use of Genesis, through a consideration of its intrinsic meaning as an ancient text (in both Hebrew and Greek versions) in dialogue with its reception and appropriation both past and present. Moberly seeks to enable responsible theological awareness and use of the ancient text today, highlighting Genesis' enduring significance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most scholars studying the first five books of the Bible either attempt to dissect it into various pre-pentateuchal documents or, at the very least, analyze Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy as separate, self-contained documents. The Pentateuch As Narrative focuses on the narrative and literary continuity of the Pentateuch as a whole. It seeks to disclose how the original Jewish readers may have viewed this multivolume work of Moses. Its central thesis is that the Pentateuch was written from the perspective of one who had lived under the Law of the Covenant established at Mount Sinai and had seen its failure to produce genuine trust in the Lord God of Israel. In this context, the Pentateuch pointed the reader forward to the hope of the New Covenant, based on divine faithfulness. Throughout the commentary Dr. Sailhamer pays close attention to and interacts with a wide range of classical and contemporary literature on the Pentateuch, written by Jews, Catholics, and Protestants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This popular textbook regards the Pentateuch as a literary whole, with a single theme that binds it together. The overarching theme is the partial fulfilment of the promises to the patriarchs. Though the method of the book is holistic, the origin and growth of the theme is also explored using the methods of traditional source analysis. An important chapter explores the theological function of the Pentateuch both in the community for which the Pentateuch was first composed and in our own time. For this second, enlarged edition, the author has written an Epilogue reassessing the theme of the Pentateuch from a more current postmodern perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pentateuch is one anchor of the Western religious heritage, a rich source of theological and spiritual instruction capable of being plumbed again and again. In "Treasures Old and New" accomplished biblical scholar Joseph Blenkinsopp engages twelve topics of great interest to thoughtful people today, and does so in dialogue with texts from the Pentateuch. In keeping with the view that the Pentateuch is far too multiplex to be encapsulated in a single theological system, Blenkinsopp has written "Treasures Old and New" as a sketchbook of theology in the Pentateuch. This fruitful approach allows him to consider themes that easily fall through the cracks of more systematic works of biblical theology. Among the many interesting subjects Blenkinsopp explores are the role of memory in the construction of the past, the dependence of Christianity on Judaism, the close connection between sacrifice and community in Old Testament Israel, the proper meaning of human stewardship of the world, and belief (or lack of belief) in a meaningful post-mortem existence. Blenkinsopp believes that scripture is infinitely interpretable, and that we are free to read the Bible in more flexible, fascinating, and exciting ways. In keeping with the great variety of discourses in the Pentateuch, the standard historical-critical method must coexist with other, and in some cases, much older interpretive approaches to texts. Blenkinsopp here ably demonstrates this perspectival approach to scripture by reading well-known texts from less well-known angles. The Garden of Eden story, for example, gains in resonance when read together with "Gilgamesh," and the laws governing diet and cleanliness come clearer in thelight of current ecological concerns. Blenkinsopp's approach also throws new light on such important yet enigmatic stories as the Creation, Cain and Abel, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, the Call of Abram, Sodom and Gomorrah, and others. Blessed with an extraordinary ability to transmit complex issues in concise and lucid fashion, Blenkinsopp has put forth great effort to make this sketchbook accessible. Footnotes have been kept to a minimum, and Blenkinsopp has transliterated the few Hebrew references and used his own, more idiomatic translations of biblical texts wherever they seemed clearer than the standard translations. As a result, this volume can be pursued profitably by scholars, students, and readers alike. Above all, "Treasures Old and New" shows that serious engagement with biblical texts, while sometimes demanding, can be intellectually and religiously rewarding.

He then addresses each book specifically, covering topics such as purpose and scope, and literary structure. He tailors additional study to each specific book. This book contributes significantly to a clear, deep understanding of the Bible's first five books.
