Torah

The First Five Books of the Hebrew Bible

Moses (traditionally attributed)

The Torah is a compilation of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which includes Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. It narrates the creation of the world, the early history of the Israelites, their descent into Egypt, the Exodus, and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The text includes religious obligations, civil laws, and historical accounts that form the foundation of Jewish identity and culture. Traditionally, it is believed that Moses received the Torah from God, but modern scholarship indicates that it is a product of multiple authors and redactions over several centuries.

Could the solution to the woes of modernity lie in an ancient story that Jews, Christians and Muslims have largely forgotten, and of which others may be completely unaware?

That’s the view of my guest Mohammed Nizami, founder of the New School for Abrahamic Restoration. The aim of the New School is to revive a way of life rooted in God’s law, aligned with the created order, and capable of renewing both soul and society.

Mohammed has completed a range of undergraduate and postgraduate studies at Al-Azhar, LSE, UCL and Warwick. He has expertise and experience in the fields of theology, covenantal law, politics, education and business administration.
