An Accessible Introduction to the Pentateuch and Why It Matters for the Rest of the Biblical Story
When starting a new Bible-reading plan, many readers begin enthusiastically in Genesis but then lose momentum when they encounter the Old Testament laws and genealogies. But the Pentateuch—the first five books of the Bible—has much to offer today's Christian; it is the foundation for understanding the rest of the Bible, pointing forward to the coming Savior, Jesus Christ, in profound ways.
In this accessible ebook, Ian J. Vaillancourt offers readers a helpful introduction to the Pentateuch as the essential first act in the Bible's grand story of redemption. The chapters cover the whole of Genesis through Deuteronomy, examining themes such as creation, salvation, genealogies, and biblical covenants. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, making this ebook a useful resource for individuals or groups who are looking to dive deeper into biblical study.
