I mentioned in my post about completing the study of Romans that our next book was Leviticus. This was by choice of the group, but it is surely driven somewhat by the number of references I have made to Leviticus. While I experienced Leviticus as a child, going to a Christian school where we read—really…
Earlier this evening I finished my Wednesday night class on the book of Romans. For the study of Romans 16, I used a sermon by Dr. Fred Craddock off of YouTube. Here it is: I have never found anything that is quite like this as a presentation on Romans 16. Dr. Fred Craddock was indeed…
In a comment, Steve Kindle asks: … in regards to your formative books, Hebrews, Ezekiel, and Leviticus, is it because you see Hebrews as teaching substitutionary atonement that springs from Leviticus? And Ezekiel foresees a renewed covenant that Hebrews embellishes? Just wondering. The briefest answer would be “no.” But leaving it at that would be…
Many people regard the idea of trajectories in scripture as largely a method of avoiding “what the Bible clearly teaches.” I believe that there are clear trajectories in the teaching of scripture, and that in those cases one must be careful that one applies the correct principle to modern times. One such trajectory deals with…
This is just a very short note with a link. I’d like to tie the repentance described in Psalm 32 to Leviticus 6 (5 in Hebrew). I wrote about that previously on my Participatory Bible Study Blog. This passage describes the priestly doctrine of repentance.
John Hobbins is starting a series on Leviticus 25. It looks interesting.
A few weeks ago I compared two commentaries on Leviticus. One of these was Samuel E. Balentine’s volume in the Interpretation commentary series. In that review I noted that I was only half-way through my read of Balentine, but thought I could still make some valid comments. I have now finished my read, and I…
I’m trying to return to my pattern of posting short notes from my morning reading. My schedule has been disrupted recently to the extent that my “morning” reading sometimes has taken place in the evening. But today I moved from Leviticus to Numbers in Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Cornerstone Biblical Commentary), and I read the introduction….
I just compared two commentaries on Leviticus on my Participatory Bible Study blog. In addition, I’d like to link to my older review of Jacob Milgrom’s three volume commentary on the same book. From that review: The only possible adjective for this commentary is “incredible.” It is not just long (2,468 pages of text), but…
The first is by David W. Baker, one of three in Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Cornerstone Biblical Commentary), which is based on the NLT text. The second is Samuel E. Balentine, Leviticus (Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching). Yes, I have been reading both of these commentaries simultaneously, though in different portions of Leviticus….
