Genesis 1-3 as the introduction to the Torah and Tanakh Postell, Seth D. creator author. text bibliography Electronic books. enk 2012 monographic eng 1 online resource (xii, 180 pages) Postell contends that the opening chapters of the Bible, when interpreted as a strategic literary introduction to the Torah and to the Tanakh, intentionally foreshadows Israel's failure to keep the Sinai Covenant and their exile from the Promised Land, in order to point the reader to a future work of God. Postell highlights numerous intentional links between the story of Adam and the story of Israel and, in the process, explains numerous otherwise perplexing features of the Eden story.
