About
There are many investigations of the Old Testament priests and the New Testament's appropriation of such imagery for Jesus Christ. There are also studies of Israel's corporate priesthood and what this means for the priesthood of God's new covenant people. In this NSBT volume, Andrew S. Malone traces these two distinct threads and their intersection through Scripture with an eye to the contemporary Christian relevance.

Reviews
"Among the many strengths of Andrew Malone's impressive work, this book fills out both individual and corporate priesthood themes. . . . It carefully surveys the voluminous biblical material on the Levitical priesthood, but it does not ignore how the Melchizedekian priesthood intersects with the Levitical priesthood in ways that make sense only where there is a sensitive biblical-theological reading of the data."
D. A. Carson
"This is . . . a useful summary of a conservative evangelical reading of the texts: thoughtful and considered, but almost certainly designed to kick into touch any notion of priestly activity lingering on in the contemporary church."
Alan Le Grys, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, 2018, Vol. 40(5)
