Introduction

Have you been told Leviticus is the most boring book in the entire Bible? It may lack the excitement and the action of Genesis and Exodus, but it contains important teachings for all of us today. In this third volume of A Journey through Torah, the authors examine the world as it was then—a world where people lived in tents or small communities.

Historical Context

Here, they gathered in the open spaces of the Tabernacle and brought animals to the priests for slaughter and offerings to God. This was a world and time when people were told how to dress, what they could and could not wear, and how they were to worship God.

Relevance Today

The authors explore how we can find relevance in the reading of the Book of Leviticus as they seek to answer an essential question: How can we make meaningful connections with God in the world we live in today?
