The Torah Mosaic Introducing the Pentateuch in Its Complex Unity Tracy J. McKenzie

This concise and accessible introduction to the theology and interpretation of the Pentateuch helps readers appreciate Scripture’s literary complexity without losing faith in its unified message and divine authority.

“The Torah Mosaic provides an essential perspective on the Pentateuch that every serious student of the Christian Scriptures should read. McKenzie skillfully argues that the seemingly contradictory notions of human and divine, the curse and the blessing, the law and the covenant, and complexity and coherence are not evidence of incongruent inaccuracies but are fusing fea- tures with vital theological meaning.” —H. H. Hardy II, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University “This book will be of help to all who want to understand the foundational book of the Bible better.” —Kevin S. Chen, Gateway Seminary

Tracy J. McKenzie (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; ThD, University of Göttingen) is professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
