Awesome video, Fr. Peter! As a Hebrew Bible graduate student and Assyriologist, I appreciate how you bring such liveliness to such an ancient text that, indeed, presents itself as outdated. You answer a concerning question well: How do we read Leviticus to make it relevant for us today? To which you answer his "holiness." Moreover, I really appreciate how you let Leviticus speak for itself. If I recall correctly, you do not cite any pericope or verse from the New Testament. Rather, you let the Hebrew Scriptures display their own wisdom, in their own light for us to ponder over uninterrupted. I enjoy reading Leviticus! I understand that some statistics show that this is often a "scimmed-over" or skipped text, but your videos--especially this one--can show how lively and engaging Leviticus can be. Thanks again, Fr. Peter. See you soon.

Thank you, Holden. I appreciate your insights. I am happy to hear your enthusiasm for a book that is often discarded as outdated and irrelevant.
