Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second of a two volume set and I enjoyed it tremendously. Understanding the types and shadows of the Old Testament and recognizing how they point to Christ and His fulfillment of the New Testament are foundation in our understanding the analogy of faith and the scope of redemptive history.

Volume 2 focus mainly on the Jewish cultic (worship) system and how all of the rites, rituals, customs, priesthood and holy days point to Christ. Anyone who is preaching or studying through the Pentateuch and Leviticus in particular would definitely benefit from this book. This contribution by Mr. Fairbairn is probably the best I've read to date and a must own for any pastor. There are cheap and even free electronic versions out there to sample. Pick up a copy!
