I have not yet read the book, so I will take your word for it.
The Torah is the divine Law recorded in the first five books of the Bible.
Christians believe that Jesus came to fulfill the Law.
Saying that Jesus, God the Son, incarnate in a human being, is the living Torah seems like a perfectly Christian thing to say.
With love in Christ.

If Jesus was the living Torah, then all Christians would have been Jews!!!
He was a Jew but he changed the Torah totally.
The Torah is the law - set of 613 commands that Jews must follow!!! Judaism is an action religion - meaning you have to do a lot of things.
Jesus changed it by saying that the religion is all in the spirit, in the soul, in the faith and not in the actions. Jesus asked you to believe (as appose to Jews that do 613 commandments).
There is no judgment in my answer, Its just my views.
So, for your question - If Jesus was the living Torah - all Christians were Jews.

Jesus said, "I have not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it!" The Jewish Law IS the Torah (as I understand). As Jesus is the LIVING fulfillment of the covenant with God (The Torah), He is the LIVING TORAH!
This is MY understanding of that statement only!

Jesus is God plain and simple, he is NOT the living Torah, but the LIVING God risen and coming again!
He himself said he came to FULFIL the law, he never said ANYWHERE that he would be COME the law!!!

I am a catholic, but at the moment I think the Catholic church has been infiltrated by modernists. Basically the stuff the Pope comes out with, generally doesn't make sense.

I am not catholic but I agree, he is the living law. He came to fulfill the law, because we could not. His blood is the blood of the living law.
