For many Christians, the Old Testament book of Leviticus tends to be largely unknown and unread. However, the gospel makes little sense without the background it provides. In The Message of Leviticus, Derek Tidball shows how this vital part of Scripture is of foundational importance for our understanding of God, the gospel and Christian living, with a meaning that continues to be of utmost relevance today. In this excellent exposition, he demonstrates how Leviticus serves as a preliminary sketch of the masterpiece that was to be unveiled in Christ, testifying to a faith of grace, love and gratitude – and one that sets God's people free to be holy. Part of the loved and trusted The Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries, The Message of Leviticus offers an insightful, readable exposition of the Biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how it relates to contemporary life. Used by Bible students and teachers around the world, The Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for anyone studying or preaching Leviticus and who want to delve deeper into the text. This beautifully redesigned edition has also been sensitively updated to include modern references and use the NIV Bible text. Readable and reliable, The Message of Leviticus is a book for anyone looking for a commentary on Leviticus that make clear its meaning both in its original context and for twenty-first century readers.
