Whether you are studying the Bible for the first time or you're simply curious about its history and contents, you will find everything you need in this 'accessible, wellwritten handbook to Jewish belief as set forth in the Torah' (The Jerusalem Post).George Robinson, author of the acclaimed Essential Judaism, begins by recounting the various theories of the origins of the Torah and goes on to explain its importance as the core element in Jewish belief and practice. He discusses the basics of Jewish theology and Jewish history as they are derived from the Torah, and he outlines how the Dead Sea Scrolls and other archaeological discoveries have enhanced our understanding of the Bible. He introduces us to the vast literature of biblical commentary, chronicles the evolution of the Torahs place in the synagogue service, offers an illuminating discussion of women and the Bible, and provides a study guide as a companion for individual or group Bible study. In the books centerpiece, Robinson summarizes all fiftyfour portions that make up the Torah and gives us a brilliant distillation of two thousand years of biblical commentariesfrom the rabbis of the Mishnah and the Talmud to medieval commentators such as Rashi, Maimonides, and ibn Ezra to contemporary scholars such as Nahum Sarna, Nechama Leibowitz, Robert Alter, and Everett Fox.This extraordinary volumewhich includes a listing of the Torah reading cycles, a Bible time line, glossaries of terms and biblical commentators, and a bibliographywill stand as the essential sourcebook on the Torah for years to come.
