More Leviticus Materials

From my perspective ("me" being Ryan) the discussions on Leviticus have been stretching yet quite interesting for most everyone involved. Is that fair? I hope so. Hopefully no one is bored to tears. Nobody has said so yet. Digging into the historical / literary context is often challenging, but the pay-off is high. I feel that way for sure about Leviticus. I have never studied so much for any other Context series. I am enjoying every minute of it.

Here are some valuable resources:

1) The document I passed out this week about clean / unclean (purity systems)

2) A great article about blood and its symbolism:

I hope it is helpful!!

Leviticus Materials

We have embarked on a fascinating study adventure through the book of Leviticus. Yes, I just put fascinating and Leviticus in the same sentence! We believe that the community of wisdom that was responsible for putting Leviticus in both the Jewish Canon of scripture and the Christian Canon knew what they were doing. It isn't a mistake! In fact understanding Leviticus is essential to making sense out of many New Testament passages that are built on the theology and concepts of Leviticus.

Anyway, here is the link to our meeting schedule: CONTEXT
