The Beauty of Holiness: Leviticus, Welwyn Commentaries by Philip H. Eveson (Paperback)
Product Description
Leviticus tells us what is true and of eternal benefit for our lives. Here is a book to make us wise about salvation. The things that happened to Israel in the Old Testament are symbolic pointers to the wonderful salvation we have begun to enjoy in Christ. Like Israel of old, we need to be constantly reminded of who God is, how he is to be approached and worshipped and how we should live our lives as God’s people in a hostile environment.
Leviticus indicates the kind of people God’s covenant community ought to be in the light of God’s grace.At the same time and in its own special way, Leviticus points us forward to the one who came to save his people from their sins and bring them to God. Without this book we cannot begin to understand the death of Christ and his priestly work on our behalf. Neither can we appreciate the many references to cleansing, purity, wholeness, separation and holiness that we find in the New Testament.
It is also from this book that Jesus quoted the second great commandment: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself ’
Endorsement
Our church is studying a Journey through the bible. We have been spending 2 weeks minimum on each book. Which is the reason I researched and found this book. I love the read and it does has so many references to the scriptures in the bible, this book is a MUST HAVE for any serious study of the book of Leviticus. I gave it a 5 star rating, I recommend this book. Great Read.
