Excerpt from The Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary on the Old Testament (on an Original Plan): With Critical and Explanatory Notes, Indices, &C Having regard to the Commentaries on Leviticus already in existence, ponderous with erudition and criticism, claiming also to be literary and exegetical, this Homiletical Commentary has deliberately shunned the profundities of scholarship, and works along practical and experimental lines. From first to last, distinctive in this intent, it has quietly kept to its homiletical aim. Perhaps it may be found, on that very account, none the less serviceable as a help toward pulpit preparations. In its Readings, Homilies, and Outlines it seeks throughout to be suggestive and didactic, searching amid Hebrew ordinances for universal obligations, and gospel teachings in the sacrifices and rites of the Wilderness. To read the book of Leviticus in its rich significance, the Tabernacle Revela tions must be pondered in connexion with the Word made esh who tabernacled among us its Altar Sacrifices be read in the light which radiates from the sacred. Cross its Priestly offices and sanctions be viewed as foreshadowing the Christian's privileges and ministries and its Moral Enactments be regarded as affirming those virtues essential through every age in man's relation to man. The Levitical ceremonies and ritual are picturesque delineations of the doctrines and duties of Christianity.
