The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, tell the story of God's love for humanity and his desire that people live in harmony with one another and with the created world, Pope Francis has said.
"In the midst of so many human words that lead to tragic division and rivalry, these divine words of covenant open before all of us paths of goodness to walk together," Pope Francis said as he was given an illustrated copy of the Torah with an introduction and notes written by an international, interreligious group of scholars.
