Description: Description: This seven volume set is an amazing, down to earth, explanation of the five books of the Bible (Pentateuch or what is called The Torah). It will at times travel through an in depth study, if the matter requires or it will just give enough of an explanation to the satisfy the reader to go on. It is the choice made by the reader which style they choose based on their mood. Because you can see if the passage is long or not and many times if you just want to peruse the material just to learn the basics you may do that. The commentary is built around a context and surrounding of ancient and modern Jewish Bible commentators, but is spiced up with many explanations or glosses by Bible critics as well (Just so you are familiar with alternate interpretations, and what is out there). It explains, expounds, compares texts and comments, at times even in chart format. The book's format is to sequentially go through every section of the Bible and pluck out the central and most important verses, translate them and then delve into the most plausible explanation of it's meaning, history, revision, and form. You can use it with an English Bible at hand for reference or if you choose it is not essential as the amount of information is all encompassing so it will be an easy read even without a complete Bible translation in front of you. The amount of information given is enough to give you an idea of the entire context. It will fascinate anyone, but especially the uninitiated who is is pretty unfamiliar with the Bible an what it says inside.
