Consider Christianity
A faith based on facts
|
When I ask Christian audiences if they've read the Bible through, people usually ask for exceptions--they claim to have read most of the Bible. What have they left out? The genealogies and the material about the temple, temple services and laws, especially ceremonial and purity laws. But the Torah is the foundation of the Jewish faith, and provides many concepts central to the Christian faith as well. This guide will point you to resources that will help you understand this foundational portion of the scriptures. |

| Leviticus 23-27 : A New Translation | ||
![]() | From Amazon.com: Jacob Milgrom, a rabbi and Bible scholar, has devoted the bulk of his career to examining the laws of the Torah. His incisive commentary on Leviticus, which began with Leviticus 1-16, continues in this last volume of three. It provides an authoritative and comprehensive explanation of ethical values concealed in Israel's rituals. Although at first glance Leviticus seems far removed from the modern-day world, Milgrom's thoughtful and provocative comments and notes reveal its enduring relevance to contemporary society. | |

This JPS series provides some of the best information on the Torah or Pentateuch for either Christians or Jews. There are many good Christian commentaries, but getting the fundamental Jewish view is essential to understanding the meaning of Torah. | ||
