In this guide, Philip Peter Jenson provides an introduction to
Leviticus, examining its structure, character, and content. In
particular, he focuses on explaining the basic concepts that inform
the rituals and ethics of Leviticus. This is especially the case
for the pervasive and complex category of holiness, along with its
antithesis, impurity. Overall, Jenson's emphasis is on the
overarching coherence of the book and how it reached its present
canonical form. Leviticus is a difficult book for most readers,
describing rituals that are no longer practiced and reflecting a
culture that is vastly different from that of the modern West. Yet
it is the central book of the first section of the Bible of both
Jews and Christians, and it is at the heart of the law revealed to
Moses on Mount Sinai. It includes the foundational texts on matters
such as sacrifice or love for one's neighbour. In this
comprehensive introduction, Jenson offers extensive analysis, and
concludes each chapter with reflections on the contemporary
significance of the texts being discussed.
