Even though in both cases, the Pentateuch or the Torah is at the beginning of the Bible, their function is somewhat different.

Arguably the most thoughtful and dynamic interpreter of the Pentateuch today, John H. Sailhammer has produced a monumental theological exposition of the Torah in The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition, and Interpretation that will take its place alongside, and make an excellent companion to, his classic The Pentateuch as Narrative. Sailhamer's methodological strategy is simple enough even if difficult to apply. He wants to understand the Pentateuch on the micro level in its verbal form (i.e. phrases sentences, etc.), but also wants to glue those pieces together in order to gain a unified understanding of the whole. Yet, for Sailhamer this is not possible apart from an understanding of the authorial strategies employed by the biblical author(s?). But Sailhamer's questions do not end here. Indeed, his additional questions give this book a character that make Sailhamer's definitive volume bringing together his vast knowledge of the Pentateuch and his exceptional scholarly acumen. Who was to use the Pentateuch as an authoritative document to dictate faith norms? What, if any, continuing relevance does it have for today? Finally, he asks the most important question: What does it mean to believe that the Pentateuch is the Word of God?These and many other questions give rise to what may be termed a "theological interpretation" of the Pentateuch. As such this book is a crucial resource for Pastors, students, and scholars who not only want to understand the Pentateuch as a document from history, but as a richly religious, thematically coherent, and theologically authoritative Scripture.

The Bible is made up of 66 books divided into two main parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible, and the Gospels are the four books about the life of Jesus.

The first five books of the Bible set the foundation for everything that comes after them. What background information will help you better understand these ancient books and see how to apply them …
The JEDP Theory supposes four authors or groups of authors wrote the five books, each with a different literary flair. Stemming from the Documentary Hypothesis, a number of Jewish and liberal Christian scholars placed the authorship and dates of the Pentateuch far outside what we have attributed to them.

Epistemology and Biblical Theology pursues a coherent theory of knowledge as described across the Pentateuch and Mark's Gospel. As a work from the emerging field of philosophical criticism, this volume explores in each biblical text both narrative and paraenesis to assess what theory of knowledge might be presumed or advocated and the coherence of that structure across texts. In the Pentateuch and Mark, primacy is placed on heeding an authenticated and authoritative prophet, and then enacting the guidance given in order to see what is being shown-in order to know. Erroneous knowing follows the same boundaries: failure to attend to the proper authoritative voice or failure to enact guidance creates mistaken understanding. With a working construct of proper knowing in hand, points of contact with and difficulties for contemporary philosophical epistemologies are suggested. In the end, Michael Polanyi's scientific epistemology emerges as the most commensurable view with knowing as it appears in these foundational biblical texts. Therefore, this book will be of interest to scholars working across the fields of Biblical studies and philosophy.
