You in God's Word. | | | | | | Now Playing in the Bible App: The Torah Series As you read (or listen to) certain books in the Old Testament, do you ever wonder, "Why is this in the Bible? What's the story behind this story?" Today we're excited to announce The Torah Series, an all-new collection of animated short films from the Bible Project that answers questions just like these.
In Jewish tradition, the first five books of the Old Testament are called "the Torah." In this series of short films, Bible scholars walk you step-by-step through the Torah's themes and literary structure, as vivid animations help you see the connections between its stories. We think you'll want to watch The Torah Series again and again — and share its clips with your friends. Genesis 1-11 God creates a good world and appoints humans to rule it on his behalf. Humanity rebels, and the story traces the tragic consequences of human sin for individuals, families and societies, and creation itself. | | Genesis 12-50 God responds to humanity's rebellion by making a promise to Abraham, that he will restore his divine blessing to the world through Abraham's family. The story traces the fate of that promise through four generations of a very dysfunctional family. | | Exodus 1-18 Abraham's family is brutally enslaved in Egypt, so God raises up a deliverer, Moses, to confront the king of Egypt and set his people free. This story gives meaning to the words "redemption" and "salvation" which are used here for the first time in the Bible. | | Exodus 19-40 Israel leaves Egypt and camps at Mt. Sinai, where they enter into a covenant relationship with God so his divine presence can live among them in the tabernacle. But, things go terribly wrong. | | Leviticus 1-27 Leviticus can be difficult to understand, but its basic message is profound and amazing: God graciously provides a way for sinful, broken people to live near his holy presence so they can find wholeness and life. | | Numbers 1-36 Israel takes an epic road trip through the wilderness on their way to the promised land. But things go horribly wrong as Israel rebels and almost misses their chance to enter the land. | | Deuteronomy 1-34 Moses gives his final words of wisdom and warning to the Israelites who are about to enter into the land. He calls them to covenant faithfulness, obedience to God's law, and to love God with their whole being. | Presented by YouVersion in partnership with The Bible Project — now, for the first time ever, you can watch The Torah Series in any of these places: | The Bible App for Apple TV (Read more on our blog.) | | Videos section of the Bible App on your mobile device or at Bible.com | Watch Now | |
