The Torah: Discovering Sacred Texts

The Torah: Discovering Sacred Texts is a textbook written by Douglas Charing and first published in 1993 by Heinemann Educational. This particular book covers the Jewish religion, and there are additional books in the series that covers the other main religions of the world. The purpose of the series is to examine the origins of scriptures and their relevance in modern life. It examines the importance of sacred texts and places them within context.

If you like reading facts, and their historical origins, then this whole series is worth collecting. The book provides an explanation of words specific to the religion, and it has plenty of relevant photographs, making it easy for any beginner to understand. Lower secondary pupils usually read this book, however I found it useful as well because it is written clearly.

I got this book on eBay for a few pounds, because it is full of factual information and I like to get my facts correct. For example, what is the name of the Oral Torah in Judaism?
