Book Synopsis REVILING LEVITICUS. Why a Maligned Biblical Tradition Still Matters by : Benjamin Williams
Book excerpt: If you can't disprove the Bible, then deride it? The Church today is locked in a furious battle over the Bible; pastors and professors dismiss what it says as laughable and outdated. Nothing in the Bible has become the target of as much snide ridicule as Leviticus. Does Leviticus deserve such disdain? Are its rules on uncleanness, food laws, farming and weaving really so foreign to modern sensibilities that the whole thing is obsolete? REVILING LEVITICUS traces these originally oral traditions and family rules back into the dim mists of antiquity, revealing the innate moral aesthetic and universal "logic of the heart" that inspired them, and finds that humans - in 2000 BC or 2000 AD - may not be so different after all.
