The first five books of the Bible lay the groundwork for everything to come. From the creation and the Fall, we learn about God and humanity. From the captivity in Egypt to Exodus, we learn about redemption and law. From the journey in the wilderness, to the brink of the Promised Land, we learn about the covenant, and get a foretaste of grace to come.
The Pentateuch is packed with rich meaning, yet its people and stories remain mired in controversy. From historical skeptics to heated arguments of six day creation, to abject misunderstandings of the book of Leviticus—by those both inside and outside the church—the Pentateuch has been a source of division instead of hope.
The 5-volume Commentary on the Pentateuch by Rousas John Rushdoony recovers the meaning and purpose of the Pentateuch for modern readers. These verse-by-verse commentaries return the Pentateuch to its rightful place—as central to our understanding of both humanity and God. Rushdoony makes sensible the genealogies, legal codes, and rituals. He recounts the lives of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Moses and Aaron, and the other central figures of the first books of the Bible. The Commentary on the Pentateuch helps restore the significance of these important Old Testament for scholars, pastors, and ordinary readers.
