Food Laws, Sacrifices - What's Up with Leviticus?

Jul 20, 2021

Why Leviticus? 

Let's be honest, Leviticus isn't the most exciting reading! Sacrifices, priests, food laws, and other rituals too. What's the value of all of this?

I this episode, we reflect the purpose of Leviticus, noting that the whole book revolves around the idea of holiness. How can Israel be holy as God is holy? We discuss:

-that Leviticus is like a procedures manual for the priests. 

-the purposes of sacrifices

-the main point of the food laws

-and how all of that is intended to mark Israel out as God's holy people.
