Divine Presence and Community: A Commentary on the Book of LeviticusWm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1997 - 163 من الصفحات This commentary by Frank Gorman shows how Leviticus, though focusing largely on matters associated with the Levitical priesthood, is also important to laypeople. Gorman addresses the question of Israelite identity and what it means to be people of God. Through a careful application of exegesis and exposition, he shows that Leviticus is, foremost, a call to holiness, a weaving together of ritual and ethical issues to provide the community with a means for enacting and actualizing covenant relationship. |

For this reason, a commentary on the Old Testament may not ignore the second part of the canon, namely, the New Testament. Since its beginning, the Church has recognized a special relationship between the two Testaments. But the precise character of this bond has been difficult to define. Thousands of books and articles have...
