Waiting for the Land: The Story Line of the Pentateuch
"Sensitive to narrative theology, Leder tells the Bible's story of the land, engaging both the reader's mind and heart . . . Readers will be challenged both theologically and ethically."--Miles V. Van Pelt, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson"I benefited from reading this book to such a degree that I am changing some of my lectures on the Pentateuch. Although I did not agree with all of Arie Leder's constructions inWaiting for the Land, it is a stimulating literary analysis of the narrative of the Pentateuch." --Bryan D. Estelle, Westminster Seminary California, Escondido, CA"With theological and literary sensitivity, Arie Leder has set forth a coherent reading of Torah that is of great value for any Christian teacher or student. Carefully researched and clearly written."--Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School, Durham"Interesting perspectives are opened up, enabling the reader to explore new meanings to a corpus of literature we thought we knew. The book is up to date with the scholarly debate and well-informed narrative theory." --Fanie (S. D.) Snyman, University of the Free State, Bloemfontain, South Africa"He combines in a refreshing way scholarly interaction with the secondary literature, a high view of biblical authority, and new exegetical proposals." --Al Wolters, Redeemer University College, Ancaster, ON, Canada
