Publisher's Synopsis
Catechetical Readings in the Pentateuch is a religious book written by Harriet Rebecca King and first published in 1852. The book is a collection of lessons and sermons on the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch or Torah. King's aim in writing this book was to provide a comprehensive guide for teaching the Bible to children and young adults. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a specific topic, story or commandment from the Pentateuch. King uses a question-and-answer format, similar to a catechism, to teach the lessons, making it easy for readers to follow and understand. The book also includes a glossary of terms, which provides definitions for important religious words and concepts.Throughout the book, King emphasizes the importance of faith, obedience, and moral behavior. She encourages readers to follow the teachings of the Bible and to lead a life that is pleasing to God. King also provides historical context for the stories in the Pentateuch, explaining the cultural and social norms of the time in which they were written.Overall, Catechetical Readings in the Pentateuch is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible, particularly young readers. King's clear and concise writing style, combined with her deep knowledge of the Bible, makes this book an excellent tool for teaching and learning about the Pentateuch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
