I've been searching through all my Leviticus commentaries, and I've found very few of them that discuss whether or not the prohibition on intercourse during menstruation applies for Christians for today (Lev. 18:19; 20:18, cf. Lev 15:19-24; Eze 18:6; 22:10). It seems like a very important and practical question for all married couples, but Leviticus commentaries seem to ignore it.
Old Testament commentaries seem to fall into one of two camps:
1) Large, technical commentaries that give you good ANE background, analysis of Hebrew words, and its meaning for Israel (i.e. blood, uncleanness), but do not address whether it applies to Christians under the New Covenant. Sometimes this is because the commentators aren't writing from a Christian perspective.
2) Shorter or application commentaries that give you the main idea of the chapters, but is not detailed enough to give a verse-by-verse exposition, and thus often ignores these passages completely.
The net result is that about 90% of the Leviticus commentaries I've checked don't even address the question.
Does anyone know of any Leviticus commentaries that gives a lot of attention to answer that question? It seems to be difficult to find an Leviticus commentary that is both in-depth and application-focused. So far, the only ones I've found are the John Kleinig (Concordia Commentary) and Roy Gane (NIVAC). (Sadly, I don't have either in Logos. I had to go to a library to find them).
