For many people, the third book of the Bible--Leviticus--is often the place where their yearly Bible reading plan gets interrupted as they look for more familiar material. What they need is a map, sufficiently scaled to offer an aerial overview of the book's topography, yet detailed enough to provide a path for walking through the book's terrain. This commentary puts such a map in your hands. It moves from general principles to specific requirements and guides the Bible reader through the details about Israel's priesthood and Israel as the people of Yahweh. But any serious Bible reader, who by definition reads the Bible with an appetite, will want to feed on Jesus Christ in Leviticus, and this volume will satisfy that need abundantly--all the sacrifices, all the protocols, all the sacred leaders point to Jesus Christ and reach their fulfillment in him. It's all about Jesus!
