Description: How should Israel’s waiting for their land shape our reading of the Pentateuch, and how should this shape the hope of the church today?

Treating the Pentateuch as a coherent and progressive story, Waiting for the Land is the first book-length exploration of these questions. Following an introduction to the Pentateuch, Leder examines each book, showing that the promise of the land was not realized. He then shows how the contemporary church should wait for its land.

"A solid contribution to our understanding of land theology from a biblical/theological, redemptive/historical perspective. Sensitive to narrative theology, Leder tells the Bible's story of the land, engaging both the reader's mind and his heart, as it relates to our ultimate hope for the divine presence. Readers will be challenged both theologically and ethically."
—Miles V. Van Pelt, Associate Professor of Old Testament

"I benefited from reading this book to such a degree that I am changing some of my lectures on the Pentateuch. Although I did not agree with all of Arie Leder's constructions in Waiting for the Land, it is a stimulating literary analysis of the narrative of the Pentateuch."
--Bryan D. Estelle, Westminster Seminary California, Escondido, CA
