Description
Were the sacrifices of the Old Testament effectual? The book of Hebrews offers a critique of the Levitical cult and the sacrifices of the old covenant, even while explaining Christ’s new covenant sacrifice by comparison to them.

Charles King, “Odessa: Genius and Death in the City of Dreams” (W.W.
