Reading Scripture in the Old Testament - Deuteronomy 9-10; 31 - 2 Kings 22-23 - Jeremiah 36 - Nehemiah 8

This study concentrates on four narratives in the Old Testament in which books, esp. the Book of the Torah, play a key role: Deuteronomy 9-10 and 31: 24-26, 2 Kings 22-23, Jeremiah 36, and Nehemiah 8. The literary analysis shows that the Book of the Torah occupies a strategic position and plays a key role within the Old Testament canon.
