‘Readers of the Bible are indebted to Dr Dawson for providing us with an exhaustive guide to what are probably the least accessible passages in Scripture - including the regulations of distinguishing between clean and unclean in Leviticus - and meticulously unpacking the information each contains and the significance of the family connections that the authors of Scripture thought so important as to include.’ David A Desilva, Trustees’ Distinguishing Professor of New Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary
