• Old Testament Facts – Why Read Leviticus?

  
  — Authority:
  The third book of the Pentateuch ( the Books of Law ) – Leviticus – is one of the least understood books of the Bible and, not surprisingly, one of the least read.  Many “read the whole Bible in a year” reading plans have come to a dead stop in the early chapters of this book.  And without question, it can ...
