"Leviticus" by Nobuyoshi Kiuchi

[AV1611]

I am thinking of getting Nobuyoshi Kiuchi book on Leviticus. What are your thoughts on it? Would my lack of understanding Hebrew hinder my use of it?

It's a fairly technical commentary. However, it is divided into sections which are more and less technical. You should be able to get something out of the less technical sections.

However, if you don't have Currid on Leviticus, buy that first. Then buy Bonar, Wenham, and Gane.

However, if you don't have Currid on Leviticus, buy that first. Then buy Bonar, Wenham, and Gane.

John Currid is very good. Though you should also consider R.J. Rushdoony or Gary North's economic commentary as these bring out things that others miss.

I have to say I rate Currid further down, largely on the unevenness of his coverage. I put Kiuchi near the top if not the top. His discussion of 18:5 has been rotating through my head for a while.

Wenham's is descent though in some ways dated, and he is overly modest on some elements. Bonar's is superb although at times his allusions are not well grounded in the text, then again there is his dual aim of Jewish evangelism and arguing for historic-premillennialism via the book.

My top seven are : Kiuchi, Vasholz, Tidball, Wenham, Bonar, Hartley, and Ross.
