Rating:  Summary: Back to the Basics Review: For anyone seeking a Basic understanding to the many symbols of OT worship, this book is a great read. It is very easy to read, smooth in its transition and always makes a connection between the OT and the fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This is a book on the basics, but is very well put together for the layperson or pastor.

Rating:  Summary: Sounds Better than it is Review: The title of this book sounded great. However, upon reading it I have found it to be somewhat lacking in content. There is little depth; I recommend Clowney's book if you want a detailed look at this subject.

Rating:  Summary: fantastic introduction Review: This is a fantastic book introducing key concepts in O.T. worship in the light of New Testament fulfillment. The style is very accessible, and this could mislead you to think that the content is flimsy, but it is not.Especially helpful is his categories of "sacred acts," "sacred people," and "sacred places." I minister in a real-world church and I've read many books on worship (check out some of my other Amazon reviews) and this is essential. I'm requiring each of my staff to read this book this year. Tremper Longman is THE foremost OT in the evangelical camp. This book serves an excellent function in his formidable written output.
