My favorite book on the typology of the Tabernacle is, without question, The Tabernacle by M.R. DeHann. I have one minor disagreement with him, and that is that he believes the "badger skins" used as a covering for the Tabernacle (Numbers 4:6) is actually "porpoise skins." Other than that, he offered a perspective of the Tabernacle that I had never seen before. It is an easy and enjoyable read.

Another book that I can highly recommend is The Testimony of Typology in the Tabernacle by Dr. Dean Weaver. This is a very detailed work and is completely alliterated, which is attractive to some preachers. It is not a hard read by any means, but a bit more academic than DeHann's book.

Most impressive I will check out these books, thank you so much.

Looking online I can't find The Testimony of Typology in the Tabernacle on amazon nor CBD. Where did you get it?

Referencing your post #17 of 3/27 about Wayne Grudem, I'll say that I'm somewhat familiar with this theologian's work because about a dozen or so years ago I purchased his large (1,300 pages!) hardbound book entitled Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine that was published by Inter-Varsity Press in 1994. [NOTE: Zondervan may also carry this book.]

Grudem goes into much more detail in this book than he does in the work you mentioned in your post (#17), and, I'm quite sure that the above-mentioned book is written at a somewhat "higher reading comprehension level" than the summary work to which you referred---probably more akin to someone who is more familiar with works aimed at the "upper-level undergraduate market" than a book that you'd find in the average Christian bookstore.

For many years, Grudem was affiliated with the Trinity Evangelical Divinity Seminary in Deerfield, IL, and, with that fact in mind, his theological works will---to some extent at least--show Trinity's "theological slant." (FWIW, to me that's not inherently a bad thing IMHO.)

At any rate, if you should happen to come across anyone who you believe are, so to speak, "up to the challenge" of comprehending Grudem's Systematic Theology, I'd recommend that he/she consider securing a copy of this valuable reference work.

It says that the book is unavailable. I have a number to order directly from the author of you're interested. He has an excellent work on Proverbs that I have used in the classroom.

Not sure yet on this one, but does he have this book on his website? Thanks.. Will check out the other one. Remember I am dealing with a church where the people do not read books nor study theology in depth. No question about it they would rather watch a DVD series, be spoon fed lectures with handouts rather than read books like this one, and so forth. Books take effort and time and something unfortunately not many Christians like to do.

I have his systematic theology and read it in seminary. However I found Ericksons to be deeper and better written. But even Ericksons is not as deep as other out there, especially BB Warfield for one. But the advantage of Erickson is he can write so people can understand him. But remember I am dealing with a church where the people do not read books nor study theology in depth. What I recommend to the pastor he has to endorse. I hope I am wrong, but I have a bad feeling he will choose something I did not recommend or choose some DVD series which defeats the purpose of books.
