Biblical Foundations Award Finalist Holidays today are often
established by legislation, and calendars are published on paper
and smart phones. But how were holidays chosen and taught in
biblical Israel? And what might these holidays have to do with the
creation narrative? In this book, Michael LeFebvre considers the
calendars of the Pentateuch with their basis in the heavenly lights
and the land's agricultural cadences. He argues that dates were
added to Old Testament narratives not as journalistic details but
to teach sacred rhythms of labor and worship. LeFebvre then applies
this insight to the creation week, finding that the days of
creation also serve a liturgical purpose and not a scientific one.
The Liturgy of Creation restores emphasis on the religious function
of the creation week as a guide for Sabbath worship. Scholars,
students, and church members alike will appreciate LeFebvre's
careful scholarship and pastoral sensibilities.
