More About This Book

Overview

In this volume, Terence E. Fretheim seeks to introduce the Pentateuch to modern readers,
stressing its continuing capacity to speak a word of--or about--God. The two chapters of Part
One provide an orientation to the critical study of the Pentateuch and present a proposal for
reading the Pentateuch in terms of its rhetorical strategy. That strategy, Fretheim argues, is
designed in such a way as to have a certain effect upon its readers, most basically to shape
their faith and life. The five chapters of Part Two focus on the individual books that comprise
the Pentateuch.
