5.0 out of 5 starsA Scholarly Book That Encourages You To Read Your Bible More
By S. Robinson on January 15, 2016
Format: Paperback
You can read my full review here: http://wp.me/p3JhRp-J4

Why is Leviticus even in the Bible? Just to make Christians thank God we don’t have those laws?

L. Michael Morales has written the latest volume in the NSBT series. The foundation for this volume can be seen here: Ps 15.1 and 24.3 ask the prime question, “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?” The psalmists write about dwelling in God’s house forever (23.6), drinking from the river of his pleasures (36.8-9), and longing to see his face (16.9-11; 26.8). Yet only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies. How could dwelling with God be a corporate ideal? Morales says that the dominating concern of Leviticus and of the entire Bible is how humanity will dwell in the house of God.

Summary
There are eight chapter in all, four of which are specifically about Leviticus.

Chapter One sees Leviticus as the center of the Pentateuch, and the Day of Atonement (Lev 16), as the center of Leviticus.

Chapters Two and Three give the background narrative to Leviticus by looking at the overall story of the exile from and the entrance to God as seen throughout Genesis and Exodus.

In Chapter Four Morales shows how the sacrificial cultus in Leviticus 1-10 was the divinely revealed way for Israel to meet with God, an ascent into his Presence.

Chapter Five brings the next section, Leviticus 11-16. Here Morales draws connections between Nadab and Abihu’s death and the Day of Atonement (e.g., both happen on the same day). The intervening cleansing laws (Lev 11-15) sprout from Lev 10.10 — Aaron is to teach Israel to distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean. Cleanliness and holiness pervade not only Leviticus, but both Testaments.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIt is hard to believe how much I missed in reading my Bible. I feel like Gehazi after Elisha prays.
By Seeking Truth on February 14, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The book of Levitcus was never one of my favorite to read through. It is great when you can find a book that is written buy a scholar for the less than PHD in theology. There are too many good points to list in a review, but I find myself multiple times in a chapter gaining a clearer picture of God that I don't think I would ever discover on my own. You will not finish this book with uncertainty as to Lieviticus' place in scripture or the need for it in the cannon. This is one of the books that will be so used and loaned you best get a few copies.

5.0 out of 5 starsA wonderful Book
By Steven Robert Shisley on February 25, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
L. Michael Morales has written a thought-provoking book. As part of the NSBT (New Studies in Biblical Theology) series, this book explores biblical theology. Morales has chosen to write a detailed analysis of the book of Leviticus, with special attention to the temple. I found this book enlightening with a lot of insight into the biblical concept of "ascending the mountain of the Lord." Morales has also provided us insight into how the ancient patterns of cosmology were portrayed in the Israelite temple. Another book that you may want to check out in the NSBT series that focuses on a similar topic is written by G. K. Beale, called "the Temple and the Church's Mission." Overall, I thought Morales has written one of the more interesting books in the NSBT series.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is an amazing work of biblical theology that reveals God's plan to bring fallen man back to communion with Him.
By Ann Q. on March 28, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The truths revealed in this work unveil aspects of man's redemption that inspire awe, wonder and worship. This is an incredible unveiling of Christ's person and work in the scriptures. Insights gained through the reading of this book have shed light upon many verses of scripture that had previously been hidden to me.
Many thanks to the author for writing this wonder filled book. If I could, I would double the star rating from 5 stars to 10 stars!

5.0 out of 5 starsThorough treatment.
By David on June 5, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
With thoroughness and care, the author walks us through the concepts which point to the desire of God's people. There is no hermeneutical sleight of hand. The author carefully exegetes the seemingly ordinary passages and stories that show how the entire scripture pulses with the restless longing for eternal communion with God. 6 stars!

This stands with Dempster's entry and Beale's entry as the best offerings in the NSBT series so far. Highly recommended.
