Rooker is not the final word on Leviticus but he is certainly a perfect first word. He doesn’t intend to be very large and comprehensive but he has studied widely everything before his time. He is invaluable.
I am currently doing a series on Leviticus and if there is any book that requires you to have a helping hand to understand—it is Leviticus. I used Rooker as an introduction to the book and I think it was the right choice.
For anyone wanting to understand Leviticus I think 2 other things are essential—to go alongside commentaries. 1) Michael Morales Biblical Theology of Leviticus, 2) Holiness to the Lord by Allen Ross
I found it most helpful to read the introduction chapters in Morales, then begin a pattern with the set of chapters in Rookers work followed by the corresponding chapter in Morales. After this, read Ross by himself.
I know Wenham and Hartley are hands down the best exegetical but I think having such a sound footing to work off of with these 3 works makes the use of those commentaries all the richer. Plus all the footnotes are at the bottom of the page where they belong unlike in Hartley which makes it a more laborsome read.
I’m actually excited to open up the most dull book in all the Bible now & if this book can be found wonderful, What then does that say of the rest of the Bible’s body of work!
