“The Torah Mosaic provides an essential perspective on the Pentateuch that every serious student of the Christian Scriptures should read. McKenzie, a master teacher, guides readers to better understand the composition of the ancient collection of texts we call the Bible and explores in a conversational style how the literary formation of the Pentateuch is crucial to detecting its complex, multidimensional purposes. He skillfully argues that the seemingly contradictory notions of human and divine, the curse and the blessing, the law and the covenant, and complexity and coherence are not evidence of incongruent inaccuracies but are fusing features with vital theological meaning, even for contemporary believers.”—H. H. Hardy II, professor of divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

“Both accessible and scholarly, The Torah Mosaic deftly guides readers through the Pentateuch with consistent attention to its author’s selection and arrangement of the material. McKenzie helps us to see that the Pentateuch is not merely an accurate record of history; it also bears a theological message best discerned through attention to issues of textual production and composition. Providing fresh readings of key texts, stimulating illustrations, and reflection on Christian practice, this book will be of help to all who want to understand the foundational book of the Bible better.”—Kevin S. Chen, professor of Old Testament studies, Gateway Seminary

“The Torah Mosaic offers a masterful exploration of the threads that bind together the author’s intention of the Torah. McKenzie has a keen eye for the Hebrew Bible’s strategic reuse of words and themes to pull forward the prophetic voice of Genesis into latter passages. I am thrilled that the church has a work that draws attention to the Pentateuch’s signposts pointing to the ‘Lion King’ from Israel who will come in the end of days to fulfill the redemptive hope of humanity.”—Eric C. Redmond, professor of Bible, Moody Theological Seminary

“I enjoy preaching Christ from the Old Testament more than just about any other thing, and I am grateful for scholars like Tracy McKenzie enabling me to do it. With careful exegesis, solid theology, and pastoral instinct, he guides me to guide my hearers in the wonders of the Old Testament.”—J. D. Greear, pastor, The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
