Publisher's Synopsis
Amy Ehrlich retains the beauty, drama, and mystery of the Torah in this unique adaptation, gorgeously illustrated with paintings by Daniel Nevins.
The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which Christians call the Old Testament. It tells the story of the beginning of the Jewish people and their relationship with God. From Adam and Eve, to the first patriarch Abraham, to Moses, who led his people to the promised land, the stories in the Torah have been studied and revered since it was first written down nearly 3000 years ago. Now in this new edition, Amy Ehrlich crafts an authentic, lyrical adaptation that is presented as a continuous narrative, one that honours the complexities of the original text. Daniel Nevins' richly-hued paintings bring the ancient wonders of the Torah to resonant life, making this truly a gift to be savoured, shared, and treasured.
