In this class, Ross explores the biblical concept of holiness. He begins by making the point that the solutions to the problems in our world might not be as difficult to solve as we think. What if the solutions we seek are to be found in the ancient texts of the Bible? Could it be that the growing sense of hopelessness and helplessness will continue until people turn to, trust in and apply the Scriptures in order to solve the issues with which we are faced? As Ross points out in this class, we do not live in a God forsaken world, but we do live in a God forsaking world. The answers are to be found within the ancient Bible of Israel, specifically in the rules contained in the holiness code of Leviticus chapter 19. In this teaching, Ross focuses on how our behavior can lead to a better world. In particular, Ross highlights a command that most people know, but that few have taken to heart.
