NIVAC 03: Leviticus & Numbers

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century
to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow
make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original
meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive
task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it
can speak powerfully today.Leviticus and Numbers tell of an epic journey
to freedom, while illuminating and challenging modern conceptions of God. Vivid
imagery of rituals, laws addressing tough issues, and narratives ranging from
exultant to gut-wrenching show what it means to interact with the Lord and how
to live according to his holy principles as part of a redeemed community of
faith.'Gane is an expert in ancient Israelite ritual, and he puts
his background to good work in this commentary. He is also adept at pointing to
the continuing relevance of this material.' - Tremper
