Starting from a very important commentary made by Karl Elliger (1966) and the first anthropological work by Mary Douglas, published in the same, the author seeks to show the development of studies on this little known Book of the Bible. The four parts of the paper embrace a broad panorama of scientific research on the Book of Leviticus. In the first part the author discusses the most important commentaries, especially those written in German and English. Then he summarizes the state of literary research on the mutual relationship of both sources Lev (P − Priestly Source and H − Code of Holiness). And then he discusses the more recent proposals of the literary composition of the Book, pointing to its concentric structure. Finally, he reviews anthropological and strictly theological studies, giving examples of some selected subjects from the Book.

Origen's reflections on priesthood, as well as his interpretation of the Book of Leviticus, arc based on the assumption that there exists inner priesthood which is inherent in human nature. Such priesthood means human ability to offer spiritual sacrifices to God. Origen points to the human mind as the priest in man. It is the mind that is capable of turning to God. The spiritual priesthood imposes a moral obligation on every human being. Only against this background does Origenes consider priesthood in the Old and the New Testament. The Old Testamental priesthood was established by Moses and involved the ability to make both material! and spiritual offerings. That priesthood was an anticipation of the priesthood Jesus Christ. Jesus is, at the same time, a priest and a sacrifice, thus he fulfills all the promises of the Old Testament in himself.
