At first glance, the Book of Leviticus seems like barren material
for lively preaching. Most expositors merely skim the surface for
messages on tithing or sabbath-keeping. Yet Leviticus is one of the
most important books of the Old Testament; it not only describes
the complete religious system of ancient Israel, it also lays the
theological foundation for the Christian gospel.
In Holiness to the Lord, Allen P. Ross enables preachers and
teachers to mine the riches of Leviticus and deliver them to a
contemporary audience. Following the same practical method he used
in the acclaimed Creation and Blessing, Ross first carefully sites
Leviticus within its context in the ancient world. Then he traces
the development of God's plan of salvation-how Leviticus' laws,
rituals, symbols, and events prepared for the complete revelation
in Jesus Christ. Finally, unlike traditional commentaries, Ross
offers helpful ideas for correlating Leviticus to New Testament
teachings (particularly Romans, Hebrews, and Peter) and for
applying the material in relevant expository form.
Holiness to the Lord is every expositor's indispensable guide for
interpreting the Law for the church and for elucidating Leviticus
in practical, biblical messages about worship, sanctification, and
obedience.
