WCS Leviticus: The beauty of holiness (Welwyn Commentary Series Book 3)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Religion & Spirituality

Leviticus tells us what is true and of eternal benefit for our lives. Here is a book to make us wise about salvation. The things that happened to Israel in the Old Testament are symbolic pointers to the wonderful salvation we have begun to enjoy in Christ. Like Israel of old, we need to be constantly reminded of who God is, how he is to be approached and worshipped and how we should live our lives as God’s people in a hostile environment. Leviticus indicates the kind of people God’s covenant community ought to be in the light of God’s grace.At the same time and in its own special way, Leviticus points us forward to the one who came to save his people from their sins and bring them to God. Without this book we cannot begin to understand the death of Christ and his priestly work on our behalf. Neither can we appreciate the many references to cleansing, purity, wholeness, separation and holiness that we find in the New Testament. It is also from this book that Jesus quoted the second great commandment: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself ’ Philip Eveson studied the biblical languages and theology at the Universities of Wales, Cambridge and London. He was a Welsh Presbyterian minister in South Wales before moving to London where he was involved in establishing the London Theological Seminary (LTS), lecturing in the biblical languages, exegesis and theology and was principal from 1997-2009. He served as minister of Kensit Evangelical Church for over twenty-five years. He continues to write as well as to preach and lecture at home and overseas and is an active member of Borras Park Church, Wrexham. He is the author of numerous books and articles including commentaries on Genesis and Psalms in the Welwyn series.
