Synopsis

When it comes to reaching the new generation for Christ, are believers truly sowing for the future, or just reaping the benefits of past evangelistic efforts? Tim Downs suggests practical ways for today's Christians to cultivate fruitful relationships in our communities, and bring our troubled culture the healing it needs so much.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

<div>The Pentateuch&#8212;Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,&#160;Deuteronomy&#8212;are the vital first books in the Bible. Understanding&#160;the scope, meaning, and events of these five books is integral to&#160;understanding the whole of Scripture that follows.</div><div>&#160;</div><div>Old Testament expert Herbert Wolf provides layreaders and&#160;scholars alike with a strong undergirding of understanding and&#160;knowledge in this introduction that reveals both the seriousness and&#160;excitement of the Pentateuch. Readers will find Adam, Abraham,&#160;</div><div>Joseph, Moses, and Joshua in these pages, as well as terrible sin and&#160;glorious forgiveness, bloody sacrifices and battles, deadly betrayal&#160;and life-giving hope.</div><div>&#160;</div><div>Wolf first addresses the overarching themes that flow&#160;through the Pentateuch, with special attention given to Moses as&#160;author of the five books. He then addresses each book specifically,&#160;covering topics such as purpose and scope, and literary structure. He&#160;tailors additional study to each specific book, for example:</div><div>&#160;</div> •Genesis &#8212; the meaning of &#8220;day&#8221; in Genesis 1:1&#8212;2:3; the&#160;extent of the flood; the Abrahamic covenant; the Joseph narrative<div>&#160;</div> •Exodus &#8212; the significance of the plagues; Passover; the&#160;date of the Exodus; the Ten Commandments<div>&#160;</div> •Leviticus &#8212; meaning of the sacrificial system; the roles&#160;of priests and Levites; the Day of Atonement<div>&#160;</div> •Numbers &#8212; the twelve tribes; forty years in the&#160;wilderness; Balaam; preparation for the Promised Land<div>&#160;</div> •Deuteronomy &#8212; the &#8220;Shema;&#8221; covenant curses; the promise&#160;of blessing<div>&#160;</div><div>This book contributes significantly to a clear, deep&#160;understanding of the Bible&#8217;s first five books.</div>
