Lots of interest here, he does enjoy comparing Biblical ideas with Western Philosophy and the book gets into politics and justice. It is not a commentary but a series of essays on some of the topics of the chapters of Leviticus. Sacrifice of course but also love, revenge the nature of holiness and meaning of purity. He usually raises a question about the subject then offers some of the many answers offered by Jewish Rabbis, 'the sages' then gives his opinion. Often it turns out that good things were found in the Bible first not the Greeks. He quite likes to point out where Christianity has got things wrong and finishes with an interesting chapter on how the Catholics are no longer saying that Judaism is now defunct. In fact Paul has three chapters in Romans trying to show why God's promises to the Jews are still valid even after the arrival of Christianity. Very little about eternity in his approach, it is all focused on this world. It is especially good on the significance of monotheism in Western culture. ( )
