Product Description

▼▲

In this fourth edition of From Paradise to the Promised Land, T. Desmond Alexander substantially updates his analyses and addresses the future of Pentateuchal studies. While he deals with redactors and the usual types of criticism (source, form, traditio-historical, and literary), his focus remains the way these five books of the Pentateuch form a continuous story that lays the foundation for understanding both Testaments.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

This accessibly written textbook has been a popular introduction to the Pentateuch for over twenty-five years. It identifies the major themes of the first five books of the Bible and offers an overview of their contents. Unlike some academic studies, it focuses on how the books from Genesis to Deuteronomy form a continuous story that provides an important foundation for understanding the whole Bible. This new edition has been substantially updated throughout to reflect the author's refined judgments and to address the future of pentateuchal studies.
