"How to Read Leviticus"
          "Many well-intentioned readers, determined to read the Bible from beginning to end, bog down in Leviticus.  It's a lawbook, a procedural manual for getting along with a holy and powerful God.  Sheer detail can bore you, especially if you miss the point behind it. 
             When you read the Bible, careful attention to detail is usually a key to understanding.  In Leviticus, however, you will get more from looking at the big picture than from studying the details.  Some laws we simply don't undersand.  But Leviticus as a whole shows what kind of people God wanted the Israelites to be.  As you read, keep you mind onteh big picure.   Try to imagine how these laws affected everyday life.  Keep asking yoursefL  How woudl these laws make theIsraelited different from other people -- and why were those differences important to God?"
(taken from the Study Bible - The New Student Bible, NRSV, Augsburg Fortress, 1990.  page 123.)
