This book provides fascinating insights into the Old Testament tabernacle and temple, the priesthood, the sacrifices, and festivals. More than that, it shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament sacred space, sacred acts, sacred persons, and sacred time. An aid to pastors, teachers, and lay people in teaching and reading the Old Testament, this work will enrich our understanding of Christ and deepen our worship.

Old Testament conceptions of worship must be understood in light of how the death and resurrection of Christ bring these conceptions to a heightened sense of clarity and fulfillment. Longman creatively and clearly brings together the Old Testament data within such a biblical theological gird. His insights will be of immediate relevance for Christians concerned about the nature of worship not only in the Old Testament but also today. Contributor’s Bio:
