Book Description
Rolf Rendtorff is interested above all in the process by which the Pentateuch reached the form in which it now lies before us. He concludes that the classic Documentary Hypothesis has been tried in the fire and found wanting, and traces briefly the scholarly path that led him to this conclusion. His approach has been met with strong disagreement, cautious agreement, and, in some quarters, relief and readiness to look for other ways than that of the documentary hypothesis to explain the formation of the Pentateuch. It is certain, however, that scholars of the Pentateuch cannot ignore Rendtorff's important volume.

The Pentateuch and Historical Books of the Old Testament
Author: Vincent Kayindu
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781973804284
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Christianity as a religion bases its teachings on the Bible. Though there exists several Christian denominations, all of them use the same Bible which has 66 books (39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament). Regarding the Old Testament, there are some teachings which Christians do not follow because when Jesus Christ started his Ministry in about AD 27, he amended some of those laws and teachings. For example he rejected divorce, revenge, killing, the laws on foods, etc, contrary to what the Old Testament teaches. Christians follow what Jesus amended because they believe that Jesus was and is still God's son, the Messiah who was sent on earth to liberate mankind. They also believe that Jesus is God. Whereas people of other faiths such as Islam do not accept that, they are free to believe what they think is right.

Theme of the Pentateuch
Author: David J. A. Clines
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567431967
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
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.

Introduction to Reading the Pentateuch
Author: Jean Louis Ska
Publisher: Eisenbrauns
ISBN: 1575061228
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
When Jean Louis Ska's Introduzione alla lettura del Pentateuco was first published in Italy, it was quickly hailed as the most attractive and usable introduction to the Pentateuch to appear in modern times. Because of its strengths, it was soon translated into French. The English translation published by Eisenbrauns has been completely reviewed and updated (including the bibliography) by Ska. Among the book's many strengths are its close attention to the ways in which modern cultural history has affected Pentateuchal interpretation, attention to providing the kinds of examples that are helpful to students, presentation of a good balance between the history of interpretation and the data of the text, and the clarity of Ska's writing. For both students and scholars, many consider this book the best contemporary introduction to the Pentateuch.
