The Bible's Foundation

<p>If the Bible were compared to a house the Pentateuch or <em>Torah </em>would be like the foundation-the part upon which the whole house stands rooted to the ground. The fundamental principles of all that God is doing in the world from its creation until its consummation are contained right here. In <em>The Bible's Foundation</em> Dr. Nathan Schmiedicke Professor of Scripture at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton Nebraska skillfully guides the reader through the books of Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers and Deuteronomy introducing Adam Abel Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob Moses Joshua and many other pivotal figures of salvation history and drawing out the meaning of the creation of the world and the creation of Israel the banishment from Eden and the sign of the Promised Land. Over the course of the book Dr. Schmiedicke like a master artisan teaching the practice of a craft shows the apprentice reader how to read the Bible in general and the Pentateuch in particular so as to derive the most benefit from it.</p>
