POTENTIAL ESSAY QUESTIONS:
A. The Torah contains perhaps the finest law code the
ancient world produced, probably because it is a lot more than just a
law code. The book of Genesis is a good illustration of
this. Comment.
B. The literalist, rationalist, and neo-orthodox
approaches to scripture all have their strengths, but none of them are
complete satisfactory in their attempts to understand and explain the
the Old Testament.
C. The Torah contains perhaps the finest law code the
ancient world produced, probably because it is a lot more than just a
law code. The book of Exodus is a good illustration of
this. Comment.
D. The Torah contains perhaps the finest law code the
ancient world produced, probably because it is a lot more than just a
law code. The book of Deuteronomy is a good illustration of
this. Comment.
