(Trial Version) Introduction to the Pentateuch (The Book of Moses)
The Pentateuch is the foundation of the entire Bible;The content is profound and theological. Unfortunately, due to the long time since the writing, the differences in cultural customs and thinking methods have led to many misunderstandings about the Bible, especially the Pentateuch. However, in these daunting histories, commandments, rules and regulations, there is a precious gift.
Life inevitably has an end, but how to know the eternal Lord through limited years and thus receive eternal abundance is an opportunity available to everyone. The Pentateuch begins with the creation of the universe and talks about the establishment of the nation of Israel, which is to use the experience of a nation as a witness and indicator of the life journey of all mankind. We hope to use this course to explain the life connection between God and man through fifteen theological themes. This life connection is not only God's unchanging will from the creation of the world to the present and forever, but also God's special covenant, festivals, Sabbath, etc., so that people can experience it personally, thereby revealing God's will for man. Furthermore, when we experience God's will, we can naturally respond to God and happily accept the life journey designed by God for us.

The purpose of producing this course is to bring a group of fellow travelers who are willing to walk into God's words and live a new life together, and enter the journey of life together. We hope that by studying this course, each student can: trace back to the source of life, see through the cause of the fall, go through the judgment of the flood, highlight God's mercy, and then determine the goal of life; look at the promised land, look at the holy church, accept the blessings given by God, understand the promise of God's name, and get enlightenment from it; accept the norms of the law, entrust the sovereignty of life, experience the abundance of life, enjoy God's rest, and respond to God's invitation with Moses.
Yes! Let us respond to God’s invitation, learn about the Pentateuch, and embark on this extraordinary journey of life!
