"How were holidays scheduled and taught in
biblical Israel, and what did they have to do with the
creation narrative? Michael LeFebvre considers the calendars
of the Pentateuch, arguing that dates were added to Old
Testament narratives not as journalistic details but to teach
sacred rhythms of labor and worship. LeFebvre then applies
this insight to the creation week, finding that the days of
creation also serve a liturgical purpose"-- Provided by
publisher.
