Hi. My name is Phil Bray. I live in Sydney Australia with my wife and 3 kids. I'm a qualified butcher, but right now, I'm most likely repairing a broken coffee machine, riding my gravel bike through the bush, or writing about scapegoats and ancient sacrifice.

​

I have a book coming out very soon. Here's the hook:

​

You know what’s rare? Books about Leviticus. And if you’ve ever managed to find one, chances are it was written by a scholar sitting in a study, surrounded by books and cats. No bulls. No lambs. Not a goat in sight. 

This book is different. This book is written by a butcher.

And being a butcher provides a unique insight into the sacrificial system described in Leviticus.

I’ve been studying Leviticus, sacrifice, and atonement for over 6 years now, and although Leviticus is a tough book to chew through, having practical hands-on butchering experience helps a lot. And, believe it or not, understanding ancient sacrifice reveals how a living sacrifice today is not such an oxymoron.

My hope is that this book will help demystify Leviticus, and make it relatable… maybe even fun! So tie on your apron, sharpen your knives, and get ready to experience Leviticus through the eyes of a butcher.
