Synopsis
Waiting for the Land: The Story Line of the Pentateuch invites readers to encounter the first five books of the Bible as a unified theological narrative. Arie C. Leder traces the story from humanity’s exile from Eden through the call of Abraham, Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, the revelation at Sinai, the wilderness journey, and Moses’ final view of the Promised Land. At the heart of this story is a striking tension: although God promises land to Abraham and his descendants, the Pentateuch ends before Israel enters it. God’s people remain a people in waiting, formed by divine instruction and sustained by promise.
This second edition shows that the Pentateuch’s journey is ultimately about more than reaching a geographical destination. Israel receives an even greater gift along the way: the presence of God. Leder explores how the themes of exile, promise, covenant, holiness, land, and divine presence bind Genesis through Deuteronomy together and point beyond themselves to the larger biblical story. Written from a distinctly Christian perspective, Waiting for the Land presents the Pentateuch as Scripture that continues to shape a people who live between promise and fulfillment, learning to dwell faithfully in God’s presence while awaiting the promised future.
