The Pentateuch As Narrative focuses on the narrative and literary continuity of the Pentateuch as a whole. It seeks to disclose how the original Jewish readers may have viewed this multivolume work of Moses. Its central thesis is that the Pentateuch was written from the perspective of one who had lived under the Law of the Covenant established at Mount Sinai and had seen its failure to produce genuine trust in the Lord God of Israel. In this context, the Pentateuch pointed the reader forward to the hope of the New Covenant, based on divine faithfulness. Throughout the commentary Dr. Sailhamer pays close attention to and interacts with a wide range of classical and contemporary literature on the Pentateuch, written by Jews, Catholics, and Protestants.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John Herbert Sailhamer</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Pentateuch -- Commentaries</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">222.107</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J65-S13</classification> <identifier type="isbn">031057420X</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/8/41sahgrBejL._SX331_BO1_204_203_200_.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/8/41sahgrBejL._SX331_BO1_204_203_200_.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070443.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
