TOTC 03: Leviticus

An Introduction and Commentary.
These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what
the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise
but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose.
Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by
section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses
and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of
particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on
each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment
and Meaning.
Levitical rules and regulations can at first appear irrelevant to contemporary
Christians - but they provide important Old Testament background for
understanding large portions of the New Testament. Leviticus describes a point
in human history when God came and dwelt in the midst of the ancient Israelites
and taught them what their purpose in life really was. Jay Sklar's commentary
makes clear what it is that the Lord said to them and, in so doing, makes clear
what he says to us today. (= 9780830842841)
