Synopsis

Far from being boring or uninteresting, the Old Testament tabernacle, and later the temple in Solomon’s day, is a shadowy picture of Christ and the church. True, people are perhaps easily able to draw the connections between Jesus and the sacrificial animals, as Jesus is identified as the one and only true sacrifice who takes away our sins (e.g., Heb 8–10; 1 John 2.2). But beyond the obvious connections between Jesus and the sacrificial animals, the Old Testament tabernacle is literally an entire world of references, allusions, and foreshadows of Christ and the church. Commendations: “Unlike so many books of the past that seek to demonstrate the significance of the tabernacle and temple for Christians, here is one that is more intellectually satisfying and spiritually helpful. There are no fanciful interpretations but, throughout the work, clear biblical principles govern the way in which the author brings us to see our Saviour as the true tabernacle and his people as the eternal temple of the Lord.” Philip H. Eveson, former principal of the London Theological Seminary and tutor in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies “Christ and the Desert Tabernacle is both instructive and worshipful. J. V. Fesko has done a valuable service for the church in drawing our focus from the typical shadows of the tabernacle structure, its furnishings, priests and sacrifices to their antitypical fulfilment in Christ. While the book is geared toward the average layperson, it is not simplistic, but profound. This book is for any Christian who seeks to understand the tabernacle with greater clarity in its historical setting as well as its current application to the church in and through the person and work of Jesus Christ.” John J. Yeo, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Old Testament and Academic Dean Reformed Theological Seminary, Atlanta “In this book, John Fesko expounds biblical teaching about Christ's tabernacle- building project with the skill of an exegete, the discernment of a theologian, and the voice of a pastor. The result is a volume that is sure to promote greater understanding, admiration, and service of the One who declared: ‘I will build my church’ (Matthew 16:18).”
