520 1  "In this new commentary, one of the world's leading 
       biblical scholars unveils the unity and continuity of the 
       Torah for the modern reader. Richard Elliott Friedman, the
       bestselling author of Who Wrote the Bible?, integrates the
       most recent discoveries in biblical archaeology and 
       research with the fruits of years of experience studying 
       and teaching the Bible to illuminate the straightforward 
       meaning of the text - "to shed new light through which it 
       sheds its light on us."" "While other commentaries are 
       generally collections of comments by a number of scholars,
       this is a unified commentary on the Torah by a single 
       scholar, the most unified by a Jewish scholar in 
       centuries. It includes the original Hebrew text, a new 
       translation, and an authoritative, accessibly written 
       interpretation and analysis of each passage that remains 
       focused on the meaning of the Torah as a whole, showing 
       how its separate books are united into one cohesive, all-
       encompassing sacred literary masterpiece. This work is 
       destined to take its place as a classic in the libraries 
       of lay readers and scholars alike, as we seek to 
       understand the significance of the scriptural texts for 
       our lives today, and for years to come."--Jacket.
