“The book of Leviticus, being part of Holy Scripture, reveals various aspects of God’s atoning purpose when he used sacrifice, and the priesthood necessary to administer it, in order to accomplish his loving will for all men within the bonds of the covenant that he made with Israel.” (Page 2)
“The laws given her in Leviticus were thus the ‘means of grace’ by the observance of which Israel could remain within the sphere of God’s holy love. And so we discover in our book the meaning of the atonement, the meaning of holiness, the meaning of priestly representation, the true significance of the Sabbath and of the various festivals, and so on. Leviticus brings us back to the central issues of the Christian faith in fact, for it leads us in the end to the Cross of Christ.” (Pages 7–8)
“It means ‘a gift consecrated to God’, and so, in actuality, a free-will offering made in thanks-giving and gratitude to God for his goodness to man.” (Page 13)
“the way that secular man thinks about his relationship to God at all times” (Page 58)
