In this section we look at quotes from the Pentateuch from the mouth of Christ and the pen of Paul. Notice in each instance both who is attributed authorship of the passage (in the Pentateuch) and where in the Pentateuch it is found.

For Discussion:

How does this chapter relate to the previous chapter?

Back in Section One (February 25, 2000) we traced the "evolution" of the historical-critical method regarding the interpretation of the Pentateuch. How is that theory at odds with the fact that Moses himself penned the first five books of the Bible?

How does the historical-critical method affect Jesus' testimony regarding Mosaic authorship? Would it have been consistent with Jesus' character to make that claim if he knew it was wrong? What activity would Jesus then have been engaged in if he knowingly went along with popular opinion?

What comfort do we have knowing that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible?
