Leviticus (Geneva Series of Commentaries) (Geneva Commentaries) Hardcover – October 1, 1966

by Andrew Bonar (Author)
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 38 ratings
See all formats and editions
Leviticus is one of the least read and understood parts of Scripture. Yet, the author of this commentary points out, no book in the Bible contains more of the very words of God than Leviticus.

Bonar wrote his notes on Leviticus for his personal use, but was persuaded to publish them by friends. His commentary, though based on sound exegesis, is marked by simplicity. The author is always careful to make spiritual application, for, as he says, 'The Gospel of the grace of God, with all that follows in its train, may be found in Leviticus. This is the glorious attraction of the book to every reader who feels himself a sinner.'

About the Author

Andrew Alexander Bonar (1810-92), the youngest brother of Horatius, was born in Edinburgh and educated at Edinburgh University. He was ordained at Collace, Perthshire in 1838, where he was minister in the Church of Scotland to the Disruption (1843) and in the Free Church until moving to Finnieston Free Church, Glasgow in 1856. He was Moderator of the Free Church Assembly in 1878. He visited Palestine with Robert Murray M Cheyne in 1839, and was his friend's biographer after his early death.

Several of Bonar's books are published by the Trust, including his Commentary on Leviticus in the Geneva series, but he is perhaps best-known for the forementioned Memoir and Remains of R. M. M'Cheyne. Bonar was tireless in his evangelistic endeavours, and he epitomised the text in Hebrew above the entrance to his church in Glasgow: 'He that winneth souls is wise'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a book.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020

I find that authors from years back were much less distracted, and thus had time to ponder and recognize deeply spiritual truths. This precious man from Scotland really GOT it. From what I understand, he began taking notes in Leviticus that were so good, his friends beseeched him to get them published...and here we are, almost 175 years later and still reading. Thank you Lord.

It's what I wanted and had been looking for for a while. It's a book for diligent study and what I've read so far proves that it's been well recommended by Bible scholars I respect. A great addition to my library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A precious book
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2010
I ordered this book for two reasons: first, the author is Andrew Bonar; second, Leviticus is a book that I find particularly difficult. When I began reading it I imagined I would soon lose interest. In fact, I had trouble putting it down! This is one of the very best commentaries I have ever read on any book of the Bible. With this author's help I have come to love the book of Leviticus... indeed, I see Christ everywhere. What a precious commentary.

Great book, compares the sacrifices, laws etc. with Jesus Christ. How we should be in our walk with Father God. A really worthwhile purchase, for anyone interested in studying the Bible and gaining a complete understanding of the whole economy of God.

2.0 out of 5 stars Typology, not Expository.
Reviewed in India on March 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
Not as expected. In the Geneva series, the contributions of Charles Bridges, Calvin, Hodge, and T. V. Moore are worth reading. They are both scholarly and devotional. Keeping those in mind I got this but Bonar is more typological than expositional. He sees only typology in Leviticus. William Kelly on Leviticus is far better. Not that happy.
