Cheyenne Brunet’s Reviews > Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord?: A Biblical Theology of the Book of Leviticus (Volume 37) > Status Update

“The shape of the Pentateuch, I posit, follows (and forms) its unifying theme: YHWH’s opening a way for humanity to dwell in the diving Presence. The essence of that way and the heart of the Pentateuch’s theology is the Day of Atonement.”

“Leviticus is often characterized thematically by holiness, but it is preferable to discern holiness not as an end in itself but rather as a means to an end, which is the real theme, the abundant life of joy with God in the house of God.”
