Controversies in the Pentateuch: Genesis through Deuteronomy - Paperback

by David Criswell (Author)

Controversies in the Pentateuch is the first in the Controversies series of books which examines the various controversies, debates, criticisms, attacks, and problematic passages in the Bible. The Law of Moses, or the Pentateuch (also called the Torah) is the subject of this volume which will address questions ranging from the Creation story to the Exodus to controversial laws of Moses. Are the days of Genesis allegory? Was the Flood of Noah a real historical event? Does archaeology support the Exodus from Egypt? Are the laws of Moses barbaric outdated relics of the past or do they lay the foundations for our own modern laws like requiring the testimony of two or more witnesses? These and many other questions are addressed in detail with nearly 1500 endnotes from Jewish and Christian scholars through the ages.
