Having been exposed to a fair share Hebrew sacred scripture and writings since I was a child, and now with the critical eye of a rational adult and able to compare them ( if I may be so bold) I have to ask, why is it that the Torah is the most central piece of Jewish literature above all others? I ask this in no disrespect, I'm just trying to understand why the Torah is so important to Jews? I guess the same question could be said, why is the Quran so special to Muslims or why are the gospels so central to Christians, but I'm asking so that non Jews understand, why is it that the Torah is so central out of all the biblical literature?
