Product Description
At first glance, the Book of "Leviticus" seems like barren material for lively preaching. Most expositors merely skim the surface for messages on tithing or sabbath-keeping. Yet "Leviticus" is one of the most important books of the Old Testament; it not only describes the complete religious system of ancient Israel, it also lays the theological foundation for the Christian gospel.In "Holiness to the Lord", Allen P. Ross enables preachers and teachers to mine the riches of "Leviticus" and deliver them to a contemporary audience. Following the same practical method he used in the acclaimed "Creation and Blessing", Ross first carefully sites "Leviticus" within its context in the ancient world. Then he traces the development of God's plan of salvation, how "Leviticus'" laws, rituals, symbols, and events prepared for the complete revelation in Jesus Christ. Finally, unlike traditional commentaries, Ross offers helpful ideas for correlating "Leviticus" to New Testament teachings (particularly Romans, Hebrews, and Peter) and for applying the material in relevant expository form."Holiness to the Lord" is every expositor's indispensable guide for interpreting the Law for the church and for elucidating "Leviticus" in practical, biblical messages about worship, sanctification, and obedience.
