Synopsis

Discover how Old Testament signs point to Christ and deepen your worship, with clear, practical insight.

The Great Symbols explains how biblical symbols and patterns were given to guide faith and devotion. It shows how remnants of ancient rituals point to deeper spiritual realities and how readers can see Scripture as a coherent story leading to Jesus. This edition clarifies how symbols function, how they relate to the gospel, and why they mattered in Jewish worship. By tracing symbols from the sanctuary, the priesthood, and other sacred patterns, it helps readers grasp the fullness of Christian truth without getting lost in tradition.

• Learn how symbols serve as stepping stones to understand Bible themes.
• Explore the High Priest’s garments as a picture of purity, covenant, and leadership.
• See how ritual patterns prepared the way for Christ’s work and its ongoing meaning for worship.
• Follow the progression from shadow to substance in the biblical narrative.

Ideal for readers of biblical theology and worship seeking a clearer, faith-building map of how the Old Testament points to the gospel.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Great Symbols

The appointments and ceremonies of Judaism had a signification far above their intrinsic nature. They were indeed comparatively nothing in themselves; they were only of value for what they represented. The apostles speak of them as A Shadow of the heavenly things (heb. And a shadow of good things to come '3 (col. There is no substance in a shadow, but it indicates the substance and is inseparable from it. These symbols were not an end in themselves, but they were unspeakably valuable in what they signified and adumbrated; and in this they fulfilled the purpose of their appoint ment. They had vital relation to the great facts and truths of Christianity, and neither the connection between the Old and New Dispensa tions nor the rationale of the Divine method of revelation can be understood unless this relation is firmly grasped.
