Product Information

The Pentateuch--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy--are the vital first books in the Bible. Understanding their scope, meaning, and events is integral to understanding the whole of Scripture. Going deep where he must while still giving a graspable overview, Wolf traces the overarching themes that flow through the Pentateuch and then addresses each book individually. He covers topics such as purpose, context, and literary structure, as well as critical issues specific to each book, like: Genesis --the meaning of "day" in Genesis 1:1-2:3; the extent of the flood; the Abrahamic covenant; the Joseph narrative Exodus --the significance of the plagues; Passover; the date of the Exodus; the Ten Commandments Leviticus --meaning of the sacrificial system; the roles of priests and Levites; the Day of Atonement Numbers --the twelve tribes; forty years in the wilderness; Balaam; preparation for the Promised Land Deuteronomy --the "Shema;" covenant curses; the promise of blessing
