    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    Leviticus 'Chapters 1-19'

    • 330 Words

    Chapter 19 of Leviticus brings a great theological weight. In this regard, Calum M. Carmichael claims that "no body of biblical laws is regarded so representative of the spirit of these laws as the rules in Leviticus 19".8 A possible reason for this, is that this portion of Leviticus reframe the Deuteronomic laws in the context of a theology of holiness. The latter permeates the whole book, and finds its basis in a division between a holy and a common realms.9 In other words, in this chapter the commandments are reframed in the light of God's call to holiness. In Leviticus 19 we see what it means to obey the commandments as a person and a community living a life a holiness, and therefore embracing Israel's special spiritual status as separated…

    This sets the stage for an even greater conflict, the mistreatment of the Israelites. The first time God calls on Moses, he appears to him in a burning bush, commanding him to go into Egypt and release the Israelites from slavery. At first Moses objected to God's commands by making excuses as to why he was not suitable enough for the task but later submits to God's will. With time, Pharaoh agrees to release the Israelites from slavery, leading to the Passover. In Exodus chapter twelve, God proceeds to guide Moses through his journey by instituting the Passover.…
