Gordon J. Wenham is acclaimed for his work in Old Testament studies. His writing centers on biblical texts, particularly the book of Genesis, exploring how these ancient narratives can be interpreted as a form of Torah, or divine instruction, for contemporary life. Wenham's approach blends rigorous scholarly investigation with a deep engagement with the theological and ethical implications of biblical accounts. Readers find his analyses illuminating and thought-provoking, encouraging reflection on the enduring relevance of the Old Testament.
Wenham's study on the Book of Leviticus is a contribution to The New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Like its companion series on the New Testament, this commentary devotes considerable care to ahieving a balance between technical information and homiletic-devotional interpretation.
