The Torah For Dummies
Wiley Publishing, Inc. (2008) | English | ISBN 0470173459 | 389 pages | PDF | 3.29 MB
An easy-to-understand introduction to Judaism's most sacred text. The
foundation of Hebrew and Jewish religion, thought, law, and society is
the Torah-the parchment scroll containing the text of the Five Books of
Moses that is located in every synagogue. This accessible guide
explains the Torah in clear language, even to those who were not raised
in the Jewish religious tradition. Christians who want to know more
about the Jewish roots of Christianity need to understand the Torah, as
do followers of Islamic tradition and those interested in the roots of
Abrahamic faiths. The Torah For Dummies explains the history of the
Torah, its structure and major principles, and how the Torah affects
the daily lives of people who follow the Jewish way of life.
