The Book of Leviticus - CCS by Samuel H Kellogg and published by Classics.
Perhaps no book in the Bible presents to the ordinary reader so many and peculiar difficulties as the book of Leviticus. Even of those who devoutly believe, as they were taught in their childhood, that, like all the other books contained in the Holy Scriptures, it is to be received throughout with unquestioning faith as the very Word of God, a large number will frankly own in a discouraged way that this is with them merely a matter of belief, which their personal experience in reading the book has for the most part failed to sustain; and that for them so to see through symbol and ritual as to get much spiritual profit from such reading has been quite impossible.
And - what is still more serious - they feel that the question is of such a nature that it is impossible for any one who is not a specialist in Hebrew and the higher criticism to reach any well-grounded and settled conviction, one way or the other, on the subject.
Such persons, of course, have little to do with this book. If the Word of God is indeed there, it cannot reach them. With such mental conditions so widely prevailing, some words regarding the origin, authority, purpose, and use of this book of Leviticus as well as an exposition of the book would deem this volume to be profitable for the believer
