Structure, Rhetoric, and Application: Modern Approaches to the Book of Leviticus

Abstract

The ancient, priestly texts of Leviticus have not always been among the most popular of the books of the Bible. At times, however, these texts attracted renewed attention, scholarly as well as spiritually. This volume offers three peer-reviewed papers, each of which sheds new light on important matters in Leviticus. Together, the authors of this volume demonstrate how an arsenal of modern exegetical and hermeneutical tools help to analyze and appreciate the old priestly texts, even as we enter the 2020s.
