Product Description

To modern eyes, what we call the biblical law, or Torah, seems either odd beyond comprehension (not eating pork) or positively reprehensible (executing children). The result is that both Christians and skeptics regularly abuse the Torah, and its true message often lies unheard. Walton and Walton offer in The Lost World of the Torah a restorative vision of the ancient genre of instruction for wisdom that makes up a significant portion of the Old Testament. In the ancient Near East, order was achieved through the wisdom of those who governed society. The objective of torah was to teach the Israelites to be wise about the kind of order needed to receive the blessings of God's favor and presence with the context of the covenant. Here readers will find fresh insight on this fundamental genre of the Old Testament canon.
