The Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries provide compact,
critical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use
of theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also
useful for upper-level college or university students and for those
responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to
providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament
writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of
careful interpretation, to assist students of the Old Testament in
coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical
texts themselves.
Leviticus is one of those OT books that modern readers tend to
avoid on the basis of an undeserved reputation alone. Many assume
that its laws and instructions especially those concerning animal
sacrifices are irrelevant to the religious life of Western readers.
This assumption does not take into account the theological
principles demonstrated by these teachings and demonstrated in the
cultic rituals and affairs of daily life mentioned in the book.
Within the narrative arc of the Pentateuch, the laws of Leviticus
represent a program for restoring the original created order, an
order that has been disrupted by human sin. Leviticus prepares for
and presents a world that is to be dominated by life, which is
manifested by humans in cultic purity and daily holiness. As such,
the book constitutes a challenge and an encouragement to believers
of every generation, as they strive to live the life that God
originally intended for humanity.
