Book Meme

I've picked up the following meme from Brad at Defensor Veritatis, who by the way is reading a really good book himself.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Here's the thing. I can't do what's actually next to me because it's The Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoevsky and there aren't 161 pages. There's a 'book' (so to speak) right underneath it though.

Here's the sentence:

"In a series of eloquent discourses Moses presents the theme of covenant renewal in a vital religious framework."

Now, here's the next question, what book is this sentence talking about?
