Study resources for the Torah or Pentateuch

When I ask Christian audiences if they've read the Bible through, people usually ask for exceptions--they claim to have read most of the Bible. What have they left out? The genealogies and the material about the temple, temple services and laws, especially ceremonial and purity laws. But the Torah is the foundation of the Jewish faith, and provides many concepts central to the Christian faith as well. This guide will point you to resources that will help you understand this foundational portion of the scriptures.

Commentary on the Torah

Energion.com Description: This commentary on the Torah has a great deal of excellent information. In particular, it includes notes on the text of Genesis 1 that are more extensive than my notes here, and also includes a diagram (page 8) showing the cosmology involved. I find that Friedman's translation is often more literal than I would like or than seems necessary to convey the feel of the Hebrew idioms, but his translation and comments are thought-provoking.
