- Synopsis
-
This book points out how God's care for and engagement with the whole world in the Torah set the tone for the entire biblical story.
The book pays special attention to how our treatment of strangers lies at the heart of the Torah's teaching. Without attempting a purely Jewish reading of the Torah, the author reclaims the Torah as a vibrant word for the Christian community in covenant with God.
Written in a personal style conversant with current scholarship but sprinkled with anecdotes, this book is for everyone who has a hunger and enthusiasm for what the biblical text may convey, the courage to ask disturbing questions of the text, and an openness to old words that may bring forth new things, perhaps even making one wise.
