Synopsis
This book offers an insight into how the Israelite's story of covenant experience with God becomes our story today. "Leviticus and Numbers" tells of an epic journey to freedom, while illuminating and challenging modern conceptions of God. Vivid imagery of rituals, laws addressing tough issues, and narratives ranging from exultant to gut-wrenching show what it means to interact with the Lord and how to live according to his holy principles as part of a redeemed community of faith.
