Levitical rules and regulations regarding blood and sacrifice, offerings and priests, cleanness and uncleanness at first appear irrelevant to contemporary Christians. Yet large portions of the New Testament can hardly be understood at all apart from some understanding of these Old Testament concepts.

What does it mean for believers to be a royal priesthood? A holy nation? For Christ to be our great high priest? Our Passover lamb?

R. K. Harrison illuminates these ideas within their Old Testament context, thus providing the needed background for their New Testament development.

This classic commentary has been completely retypeset and presented in a fresh, vibrant new large paperback format, with new global branding.
