Discover the hidden wisdom at the foundation of the biblical story.

Many readers approach the Torah—the first five books of the Bible—expecting either familiar Bible stories or a difficult list of ancient rules. But Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are doing something far richer. Torah invites God’s people into a way of seeing, thinking, and living, teaching us not merely what to think but how to think as people shaped by the story, wisdom, and presence of God.

In Torah: Discovering the Treasure Beneath the Text, Marty Solomon helps readers slow down and notice what they may have missed in these Old Testament books. Through exploring ancient literary techniques, cultural narratives, historical context, and repeated patterns in the Text, this 8-week adult Bible study equips individuals and small groups to engage the Torah as a journey of discovery and spiritual growth. Readers will learn to look for the “buried treasure” beneath the surface of the Pentateuch and consider how that wisdom forms faithful life with God today.

This Bible study guide will help you:

• Explore Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy with fresh eyes
• Discover ancient literary tools such as chiasmus, parallelism, cultural narrative, and historical subtext to see how they aid in understanding the Bible
• Understand Torah as a way of living rather than merely a system of rules
• Learn to ask better questions of Scripture and the world behind it
• Move from discovery to wisdom to faithful application in everyday life

Torah invites you to encounter the Books of Moses not as flat information, but as a living, layered foundation for knowing God and walking in his ways.
