The well-known parallels between Genesis and Leviticus invite further reflection, particularly in regard to the rhetorical and theological purpose of their lexical, syntactical, and conceptual correspondences. This volume investigates the possibility that the final-form text of Leviticus is an indirect reference to Genesis 1–3 and examines the rhetorical significance of such an allusion. The face of Pentateuch scholarship has shifted dramatically in the last forty years, resulting in the questioning of many received truths and the employment of a host of new, renewed, and often competing methodologies by biblical scholars. This study sits at the intersection of these recent interpretive trends. G. Geoffrey Harper uses insights from the fields of intertextuality, rhetorical criticism, and speech act theory to create a methodological framework, which he applies to three Leviticus pericopes. Chapters 11, 16, and 26 are examined in turn, and for each the assessment of potential parallels at lexical, syntactical, and conceptual levels reveals a complex web of interconnected allusion to the creation and Eden narratives of Genesis 1 and 2–3. Moreover, Harper probes the theological and rhetorical import of these intertextual connections and explores how Leviticus ought to be understood in its Pentateuchal context. This comprehensive study of the connections between these two sections of the Hebrew Bible sheds light on both the literary artistry of these ancient texts and the persuasive purposes that lie behind their composition.

Walk Through the Book of Genesis: A Verse-By-Verse Exposition is as the title suggests, an exposition of each verse of the book of Genesis. It begins by explaining the need for faith to believe some of what it represents. However, it makes the case that the need for faith is not unique to the Bible, but to science as well. This book offers insightful commentary about how science affirms biblical truths about creation, and it clarifies traditionally misunderstood views about the seven-day creation week. Unique perspectives are presented about the fall of mankind, their expulsion from the garden of Eden, and the plan of God to redeem them to himself. Readers will be encouraged to observe God's commitment to his covenant, which he established with Abraham and his descendants, who were all fallible individuals; yet God blessed and provided them with hope for a brighter future in a land he promised to give them as an inheritance. Finally, Walk Through the Book of Genesis: A Verse-By-Verse Exposition pinpoints successes and failures in the lives of characters in the text. Their experiences serve as examples and inspire readers to persevere despite life's challenges.
