AOTC 03: Leviticus

The Old Testament book of Leviticus is the sequel to Exodus in that it deals
with a deeper dimension of the Sinaitic covenant, giving various rules for the
life of the Israelites, and for the sacrifices and offerings to be performed in
the sanctuary. It addresses the question of how the Israelites - human beings -
can live in proximity to the holy God who has promised to dwell in their midst.
In this excellent commentary, Kiuchi offers in-depth discussion of the theology
and symbolism of Leviticus. He argues that its laws present an exceedingly high
standard, arising from divine holiness, and the giving of these laws to the
Israelites is intended to make them aware of their sinfulness, lead them to
hopelessness, and ultimately to destroy their egocentric nature. To be
confronted by the laws in Leviticus is to recognize the vast distance that
separates the holy from the unclean and sinful, and so to appreciate afresh the
grace of God, ultimately expressed in the life and work of Christ. (=
