With Alec Motyer describing this book as being characterised by ‘huge scholarship wedded to patient, detailed explanation and exposition of the sacred text’ dare I write a negative review of this commentary?
Fortunately Motyer’s assessment seems to sum up the quality of this work accurately. In his preface Vasholz states that one of the aims of his commentary is to challenge the caricature of Leviticus as being a dull and irrelevant book. He argues that it contains much that should be appealing to the Christian: pages which yield deep insights into how redeemed sinners can live in the presence of a holy God.
