Description
About the Lecture: Christians often struggle to see the relevance of Leviticus. They might use the book to try to force generalized connections to Jesus, or see its laws as a useful contrast to the grace found in the Gospel. But this book has much more to offer! This teaching session will explore key texts in Leviticus that illustrate the book's profound value for Christians today.
