Verö entlicht auf Englisch. Christophe Nihan unternimmt eine Gesamtanalyse des Buches Leviticus und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, daß Lev 1-16-unter Verarbeitung älterer Ritualtexte-als Abschluß des priesterlichen Werkes (P) komponiert wurde und die ideale Sicht Israels als die »priesterliche Nation« der Welt systematisch vorstellt. Lev 17-26 (27) hingegen sind einer späteren Redaktion zuzuschreiben, welche im Rahmen der Edition des Pentateuch um einen Ausgleich zwischen der Gesetzgebung von P, dem Bundesbuch und dem Deuteronomium bemüht ist. Die hier vorgelegten Ergebnisse sind für die Auslegung des Buches Leviticus sowie für die aktuelle Pentateuchdiskussion von erheblicher Relevanz. Für dieses Werk erhielt Christophe Nihan den John Templeton Award for Theological Promise.
