The Meaning of the Pentateuch

If like me, you don’t have the budget to buy John Sailhamer’s The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition and Interpretation, which a few people have been raving about, you can read the introduction online at Westminster Bookstore (PDF file) and read an interview of the author at Christianity Today.

I thought these might be timely since many of us are reading through the Old Testament right now. Are there other free materials on the Pentateuch online that you like?

I recently bought a used older edition of The Handbook On the Pentateuch by Victor Hamilton that I plan on reading later on.

    From someone who’s comment wouldn’t go through.:

    Jeff,

    I tried to leave this as a comment on your site, but the comment form said it looked like spam. Anyway …

    I’ve got a lot of stuff on my site on the individual books of the Pentateuch. But, I’m not sure if that’s what your looking for. At any rate, here are a few links of the links I have for Genesis:

    Franz Delitzsch 2 volume commentary on Genesis:

    I’ve got links to a lot of commentary introductions on Genesis and other books from Google Books (e.g. Hamilton, Westermann, and others) on my blog.

    All the best,

    There’s a ton of Meredith Kline stuff at http://www.covopc.org/Kline/Meredith_Kline_Online.html. Including a .pdf of the full text of his book, “Kingdom Prologue”. which is mostly about the Book of Genesis.

    Let me just say I love Hamilton’s book. I use it as my mousepad — that’s a high honor in the world of my bookshelf!

    Hmmm I’ll take your word for it.
