Leviticus (Tyndale Commentaries)
Publisher’s Description
Levitical rules and regulations can at first appear irrelevant to contemporary Christians—but in the pages of Leviticus we find truth about identity, meaning, and purpose in life. While Jay Sklar’s commentary makes clear the crucial background for understanding the New Testament, it also does more. He uncovers how God came to dwell in the midst of the ancient Israelites and taught them their true calling.

He is the author of Sin, Impurity, Sacrifice, Atonement: The Priestly Conceptions (Sheffield Academic Press), articles on the theology of sin and atonement, and notes on Leviticus and Numbers in various study Bibles.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“If you have always baulked at reading Leviticus, then get this book, and use it as a guide. It will be money and time well-spent.”
John de Hoog
Vox Reformata, 2016
“Pastors, seminarians, and Bible teachers will surely benefit from this volume, and its readers will likely quote many of Sklar's moder-day analogies.”
Kazuyuki Hayashi
Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament, 5.1 (2016)
“Professor Sklar deserves our gratitude for the way in which he has set about his task of providing an entry-level work for what many newcomers to the OT view as a daunting part of the Bible.”
James F. Coakley
Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, March 2016
“This is an outstanding commentary that will serve pastors and preachers well for at least another generation. It opens up the world of ancient Israel's laws and ritual in a clear and understandable way, rejoicing in the grace of the law of the Lord that is more to be desired than gold, a law which leads us to the majesty and glory of Jesus.”
