Reformation 21's End of Year Review of Books
Preaching's Survey of Bibles and Bible Reference

"Who shall ascend the mountain of the LORD?" ―Psalm 24:3

In many ways, this is the fundamental question of Old Testament Israel's cult―and, indeed, of life itself. How can creatures made from dust become members of God's household "forever"? The question of ascending God's mountain to his house was likely recited by pilgrims on approaching the temple on Mount Zion during the annual festivals. This entrance liturgy runs as an undercurrent throughout the Pentateuch and is at the heart of its central book, Leviticus. Its dominating concern, as well as that of the rest of the Bible, is the way in which humanity may come to dwell with God. Israel's deepest hope was not merely a liturgical question, but a historical quest.

Under the Mosaic covenant, the way opened up by God was through the Levitical cult of the tabernacle and later temple, its priesthood and rituals. The advent of Christ would open up a new and living way into the house of God―indeed, that was the goal of his taking our humanity upon himself, his suffering, his resurrection and ascension.

In this stimulating volume in the New Studies in Biblical Theology, Michael Morales explores the narrative context, literary structure and theology of Leviticus. He follows its dramatic movement, examines the tabernacle cult and the Day of Atonement, and tracks the development from Sinai?s tabernacle to Zion's temple―and from the earthly to the heavenly Mount Zion in the New Testament. He shows how life with God in the house of God was the original goal of the creation of the cosmos, and became the goal of redemption and the new creation.

Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book...promises to give us not only a theology of Leviticus, but also a richer theology of the Pentateuch, and finally of the whole Bible. I predict this volume will spawn some excellent sermon series on Leviticus!" -D.A. Carson

Review

"Some books give insight at multiple levels. This is one of them. Entirely in line with the goals of NSBT, Dr Laniak develops a biblical theology of 'shepherd' imagery throughout the Bible."

-- D. A. Carson

Amazing Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

This is an outstanding work that has contributed much to my understanding of the Scriptures. My only complaint is that it's taking me so long to read. Not because it's too wordy or boring; just the opposite! It seems I can't go more than two or three pages before I have to put it down to think about what he's saying. It is the most edifying book on scripture that I have ever read. I've recommended it to several friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Morales for your hard work and your contribution to Biblical Theology!

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book was on some top Leviticus commentary list, so I purchased it hoping it would explain the priestly role in mediation. But this book was sooooo much better than what I was looking for. Morales unpacks how Leviticus and the Tabernacle tie into the biblical theme of God's grace and how He makes a way for sinful man to dwell with a holy God.

This book looks more scholarly just flipping through the pages, but it's easy to read and Morales defines all the Hebrew words he uses. My only recommendation is to have a note card to write a few of the definitions down so you can reference them later in the book.

5 stars from a non-reformed reader

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

Confession time... So I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to read this book because the author was reformed. (There is a part of me that thinks little can be gained from someone who has a reformed understanding of scripture, the gospel, God’s purposes in creation, etc.—my struggle as a non Calvinists). but I highly respect Tim Mackie (non-Calvinist) who recommended this book, so I gave it a shot... and I’ve LOVED it... it was great for me to be able to read a reformed author and say amen to 95% of it and I felt like I learned a ton about scripture, both old and New Testament.... now, granted concepts of compatibilistic determinism, individual precreation election, TULIP, etc. are not only never mentioned, but they are contradicted by this guys work and insights (which is great).... and, interestingly PSA is only mentioned as a side note in a couple paragraphs (and of course with no biblical support) which amazes me considering it’s a reformed commentary on Leviticus... anywho, I was encouraged to see a reformed author willing to put their Augustinianism aside and focus on the biblical texts... this guy is a GREAT writer and very insightful if you are looking for more study on Leviticus and it’s relationship with the New Covenant....

Catholic Who is Loving This Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024

Verified Purchase

I'm a Catholic who is reading this book with other Catholics, and I have no problem with the book. It's good exegesis, and I've even found some things that support Catholic readings of Sacred Scripture (that I'm sure that author would not agree with).

Deepen your understanding of a book that is supposed to be "boring."

I fell in love with Leviticus around New Year's-ish of 2017

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

I fell in love with Leviticus around New Year's-ish of 2017. It started with questions about the yeast (I was a first-time reader of Leviticus), and investigating that symbol from Leviticus and other parts of Scripture led to an absolute dive--I mean, I'm still enraptured by it--into this book of the Bible.

It led me to buy this book, and I cannot thank Morales enough for writing it. I am not a student of theology so I am incapable of giving you anything like a peer review or a comparative review on this work. I cannot praise or criticize his hermeneutic, and I wouldn't know if his exegesis (and there is some) is good, bad, or otherwise.

What I CAN tell you is that this book was exactly what I needed to order and make sense of the rich symbols, structure, and New Testament implications of Leviticus. I used this book in tandem with several (6) commentaries from different eras and schools of thought, and I found that all of my questions and all of my confusions got straightened out in the Morales work much more clearly than in any of the others. The book demonstrates the theological structure of the book in the opening chapters and then moves on to a really thorough examination of every figure and theme in Leviticus.

It is a dense, dry, philosophy text-like book. If you're not into that or do not study from such material well, then you might want to click on the look inside button and read through the sample pages before purchase. Otherwise...dive in. This book is incredible. I am ever grateful for the scholarship and thought that went into this book.

Exceptional Book on the Temple

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is simply incredible. Morales thoughtfully and thoroughly explains the significance of the Day of Atonement as the center piece of the Torah (literally and literarily) and explains it’s reverberations throughout the rest of Scripture. While it is technically a treatment of biblical theology on the book of Leviticus, it is truly a robust treatment of the entire tabernacle/temple and it’s realization in Jesus. If I could give this more stars I would. This is one of those hallmark books I will revisit for the rest of my life.

Excellent study

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This work by Mr. Michael Morales was a much needed book for me, I had been doing a lot of reading in the ANE literature and from various biblical "scholars." One finds out real fast that these so called scholars push what is called the "documentary hypotheses" or some call it "high criticism" or even "source critics."

So..after going through some online courses in the ANE I began to cry foul, all I wanted to do was to gain some context to my bible reading, and these so called "biblical scholars" were telling me my bible the (masoretic text) was too corrupt to have faith in!

Then along came this work by a true biblical scholar, who has sifted through the bible with all accountability (many footnotes to other sources as well) to show certain themes run through out the bible from beginning to end mainly the mountain/tabernacle/temple theme and it's relation to atonement and restored creation, and I believe the fulfilment of this in our Messiah Yeshua. Needless to say this was a refreshing read, and led me to another book from GK beale, the temple and the churches mission excellent as well. God's word is truly inspired, not fragmented by JEPD sources!!

Fall in love with Leviticus.

Reviewed in India on February 15, 2024

Verified Purchase

If you want to fall in love with Leviticus this is the book. Bit scholarly, full of notes (which is what I prefer) But as you stick to it it will unlock concepts in Leviticus never imagined before. This is also a great read on typology in the Bible. How the structure and theme of Eden corresponds to that of Temple/Tabernacle. and How Tabernacle itself is a miniature cosmos. The point of connections are illuminating. A wonderful investment of my time and money.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have always loved Leviticus, and this book has confirmed why I do. Morales performs a huge task in compacting his vision of Leviticus into just 300 pages. His thesis is that holiness is central to approaching God and that Israel needs to be in God's presence unless they have been made holy. This can only be achieved through sacrifice. Further, he shows how the theme is also scattered throughout the OT and finds its fulfilment in Jesus. Excellent book.

Most Amazing Biblical Studies Book I've Ever Read

Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book nothing short of breath-taking. Every single of the 300 pages is packed with profound insights, relevant to the biblical text and life of the Christian. I found myself literally laughing and smiling at one point while reading because of how profound this exposition is.
Morales places Leviticus in its narrative context of genesis, exodus, and the torah as a whole. This elucidates the text's function SO much. After this he offers detailed exegesis and structural analysis which breaks down the books overall messages and structure in a profound yet accessible way. He goes on to trace the major themes through the rest of scripture.

One of the best books I've read in my whole life! Top 4 for sure. Can't recommend enough!! Read this book! You won't be let down!!

This New Studies in Biblical Theology series is brilliant! This particular book is so clear and straightforward in dealing with the Pentateuch and Leviticus within it, as well as Leviticus in its own right. It obviously applies its teaching or the implications of its teaching to Christians. Get a copy and read it!
