For most Christians today, there is no message of Leviticus, for
Leviticus goes unread. Yet Leviticus was the first priority in
Jewish instruction of the law of Moses. Jesus and his hearers knew
Leviticus well and took its teachings to heart. The documentary
hypothesis that reigned supreme over Pentateuchal studies for most
of the twentieth century undercut the internal coherence of
Leviticus that swayed the Jews of the New Testament period,
speculating that rather than originating with Moses, Leviticus was
the nostalgic revisionist history of Judaic reformers in exile. But
more recently, such theories have fallen from favor, and Leviticus
is being reconsidered for its historical representation of the
ancient and foundational era of the Jews. Derek Tidball explores
the picture in Leviticus of Israel being brought together under the
law of Moses. Here is a definitive presentation of what life as the
people of God was to be like: the civic, cultic, religious, moral,
legal, family and ritual expectations of the covenant community. In
accessible prose, Tidball reveals the message brought to the Jews
by Leviticus in their day, making room for us to grasp its message
to us in our day.
