It details regulations for holy living and sacrificial worship in Old Testament Israel. But does this book have anything to say to Christians today?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAware of how easy it is to get lost in the rules and rituals outlined in Leviticus, Kenneth Mathews focuses this commentary on the common themes between Old Testament life and the New Testament Christian’s experience. His chapter-bychapter analysis illuminates the significance of ancient Israel’s sacrificial system and symbols, drawing parallels to Jesus as their perfect, once-for-all fulfillment. This commentary will train you to see the foreshadowing of Jesus’s sacrifice and the many ways a holy God atoned for our sin through Christ, so that you may teach and apply the truths of this foundational book with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003cem\u003ePreaching the Word \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eseries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/excerpts\/media\/08c07e05530d735502b5d9e79d8217e1cfb4b3de\/Leviticus_Preaching_the_Word_excerpt.pdf\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead Sample Pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA Word to Those Who Preach the Word\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHearing from God before Seeing God (1:1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommitment (1:2–17)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank You, Lord!
