Leviticus: A Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition

To be holy as God is holy is central to the theme of the book of Leviticus. Known for what scholars call the Holiness Code, Leviticus is about conforming to God's holy character, which is relational. God's people are called to holiness—to restore relationships with God and others through sacrifices, maintain their relationship with God through impurity laws, and express relational holiness by actively loving God and neighbor.

Thomas King's New Beacon Bible Commentary on this amazing book of the Bible not only covers the usual topics—authorship, composition, and date—but also draws the reader into the world of a people called to be holy in the service of a holy God.
