Review:

"Christians struggle in understanding the relevance of large parts of the Old Testament, particularly concerning the worship of ancient Israel. In this beautifully conceived work, Longman has illuminated the priestly material in a way that makes it theologically relevant for today. I heartily recommend this work." --Bruce K. Waltke, Knox Theological Seminary

"Longman brings together all of Scripture's teachings on the subject and in very clear and easy to understand language explains the different faces of Old Testament worship. . . . I highly recommend this book for preacher and laymen alike! Preachers will find lots of materials for preaching Christ, and laymen will definitely grow in their love and understanding of the Old Testament." --Jacques Roets, Mid-American Journal of Theology
