Description
Numbers: An Introduction and Commentary explores the significance of this biblical book in both its historical context and its relevance to modern society.
The author, Gordon Wenham, bridges the gap between ancient and contemporary perspectives by examining the structure, sources, date, and authorship of Numbers, as well as its theology and Christian use. A detailed analysis of each passage offers insights into Old Testament ritual through the lens of modern social anthropology.
