Book Review: A place to begin
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a good place to start studying Torah from a Christian perspective. The Old Testament IS Torah but it is so much more. Christians minimize the need to know the OT because they are taught that the word "Torah" means "LAW" which is then taken in to our Western minds to mean "Rules and regulations that restrict my freedom to do what I want to do with my life." If you read that definition and you have a personal relationship with God, you suddenly realize that God doesn't want to restrict our lives at all! HE wants to be part of our lives, but to have HIM ---a holy God -- in the midst of our lives, we must endeavor to be holy and to know how to be holy, you have to read the instruction manual, as it was, on how to have HIM in your life...and that manual IS The Torah! The Torah isn't something to be ignorant of, or to just take out on Sunday, Torah---should be a living study of God in our midest! HE should be the one guiding our steps and we should be drawn to His Side daily to find out how HE wants us to do that. Where does HE need you to be on this day. So this book is a good first step in beginning to study these things. The LAW isn't bad at all! God doesn't make a mistake! God is the same--yesterday, today and forever! We just have to be RE-deemed...or as the prefix indicates---drawn back to HIM and to understand how we are to do that, we need to study the Old Testament within its context--of history, culture, language, geography, archaeology, and even politics of His Time. We need to see HIM within the Scriptures that HE spoke! All the Scriptures that HE spoke were from the Old Testament and they were presented within CONCEPTS and not taken out of CONTEXT! "A text without a context, is wrong!" Learn to read the words and to hear the words as His Audience would have heard them. So, this is a good first step to your studies.
