Reading the Ceremonial Laws With Jesus: Levitical Food Laws and World Mission - Steffen Jenkins

The ceremonial laws, and frankly most of Leviticus, are on any short-list for neglected passages in the Bible. Prohibitions of certain foods are stellar examples of why the Law has nothing to do with our ethics. We attempt to read them within both the big sweep and the tiny details of how God revealed himself through Moses. We find good reasons to believe Jesus when he said that the whole of the Law was about him, and that it predicted the spreading of the gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth (Luke 24:47).

Steffen Jenkins is half German, half Welsh, was born in Spain but again in England. He has served on the faculty of the Eastern Baptist Seminary in Cuba and with the “Cuba para Cristo” mission agency for fifteen years. He has recently completed a project at Tyndale House, Cambridge, to equip Cuban seminary lecturers to raise up new lecturers of Greek and Hebrew throughout Cuba, while serving as associate minister of an evangelical Presbyterian church in Chelmsford. His doctoral research under Prof Gordon Wenham focused on prayers for vengeance in the Psalms. His twin passions of equipping pastors with languages to a high enough standard that they can use them, and of helping pastors to love the Old Testament shamelessly, are happily combined by his idiosyncratic position as lecturer of Greek and OT at Union School of Theology.
