[Doug Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jay Sklar, the presenter is a student of Gordon Wenham, one of the foremost Christian commentators on Leviticus. Sklar has written the current Tyndale commentary on Leviticus along with a longer commentary in the ZECOT series, and he has often taught Leviticus at Covenant Theological Seminary.

The presentations are tightly organized. Sklar begins with an overview of a passage and an outline of its structure. He then looks at the passage in detail, and closes by mentioning lessons and Christian applications. This is a helpful course for study groups that are going through Leviticus.
