And then came Leviticus... that part of the Bible where people often stop reading.
But when we understand God's Law in the light of its place in this whole rescue story that's leading us to Jesus, Leviticus and the other books of the Law take on new life and meaning in our Bible study. Week 4 will give us a perspective on Leviticus, an understanding of how to read the laws of Scripture and then a complementary look at the theme of God's holiness that fits right in with both.
Remember to sign in (or sign up) and leave us your thoughts and questions, and thanks for joining us on our journey through Scripture!
