{"product_id":"2940016065069","title":"The Pentateuch","description":"There can be no doubt that we are justified in taking the first five books of the Bible as forming a group by themselves.\u003cbr\u003eThe division of the Old Testament Scriptures into the Law, the Prophets (former and latter) and the Hagiographa or Kethubhim, (the Sacred Writings) has always been recognized and is the division implied by our Lord Himself where He says: \"That all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Me\" (Luke 24: 44); the \"Psalms\" here including the other poetical books.\u003cbr\u003eThere can be no question either that these first five books were written by Moses. This does not raise the question of whether other writings more or less connected may have been used by him, for instance in the book of Genesis; but we have evidently there, as a continuous narrative with a distinct object, from the first chapter to the close of the book, that which is the product of one inspired person, whatever material he may have used in the preparation of his work; just as an author now may quote largely and use much material gathered by others in the preparation of a work which is distinctly his own.\u003cbr\u003eThe subject, however, of the Mosaic authorship and structure of Genesis would come up in a work devoted more especially to that book. It must suffice us here to point out that our Lord evidently considered the first five books of the Bible as the inspired product of Moses. \"He wrote of Me.\" \"If ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?\" (John 5: 47.)","brand":"Ridout Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171059351792,"sku":"2940016065069","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016065069_p0.jpg?v=1763628557","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016065069","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
