Introduction to the Torah Bob Dunston
Torah Class a place of common ground for Christians and Jews. Torah means "teaching" or "instruction", not Law. The Hebrew Scriptures are the foundation of the New Testament. Torah Class is an independent, non-denominational organization of gentile Christians and Messianic Jews who meet to learn Torah and Old Testament (Tanakh) from a Hebrew Roots perspec-tive, and then apply our understanding to the works of Messiah in the New Testament and ultimately to our lives and personal relationship with the Lord.
An Introduction to the Pentateuch David Malick describes it as a chronological and theological progression covering the founding of the Theocracy - the re-establishment of God's rule on earth through man over evil and over all creation.
God in the Pentateuch: Reading against the Grain David JA Clines explores what sort of data we should use in our understanding of God. The record of what God says about himself, what the narrator says about God and, what the narrator depicts God as doing and saying. The God of the Pentateuch is a complex and mysterious character passionate and dynamic but by no means conformable to human notions of right behaviour. Clines concludes by saying that all of our readings will enshrine our own ideology.
