The earliest Christians who came to follow Jesus were first Jews. They had studied and knew their Torah (Pentateuch) before they had come to know Jesus. In this book, we will, in a way, try to imitate them. We will study the Pentateuch as it is; we will let it speak on its own terms and try not to filter it too much at first through specifically Christian lenses. Far too often, those lenses, smeared with a Law versus Gospel brush, have impeded our vision rather than helped it. At times we will allude to New Testament texts, but we will save our discussion of Jesus and the Law until the end. Like the earliest Christians we will attempt to come to Jesus only after we have studied the Torah and have some idea of what it is all about. - Preface

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent highlight book with profound insights
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020

An excellent overview of the Pentateuch in a brief, concise book. Fr. Guinan’s writing is clear and captures important concepts for a summary text. This is not a “deep dive” book, but still provides wonderful insights. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and easy to read for the average person in the pew
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015
Concise and easy to read for the average person in the pew. Stands up well to current scholarship, but is meant to give the central focus of Pentateuch for the laity.
