James Watts uses rhetorical analysis for this detailed exposition ofLeviticus 1-10. In dialogue with a wide variety of contemporaryscholarship on Leviticus, this commentary also engages the history ofthe book's interpretation and the history of Jewish and Christian ritualpractices. Leviticus's rhetoric aimed to persuade ancient Israelites tomake offerings to God. It legitimized the monopoly of Aaronide priestsover Israel's offerings and over determining correct ritual practice.The priests in turn established the Torah containing Leviticus as theauthoritative text of Israel's religion. Rhetorical analysis ofLeviticus thus leads to new insights into the role of priests in raisingthe Pentateuch to the status of scripture and in shaping the biblicalcanon. It also calls attention to the role of ritual rhetoric in thepolities of later Jewish and Christian groups, despite the fact thatneither religion makes animal offerings as Leviticus 1-10 mandates.
