The Tabernacle is a symbol of Israel's relationship with God in the Old Testament-through the nation's time in the wilderness, God's presence could be found within the carefully constructed structure. Peter Currie's The Tent in the Desert walks modern readers through a comprehensive understanding of the Tabernacle, putting in simple terms the significance of its detailed construction and its centrality to ancient Jewish life. Through conversation with the gospels, classic hymns, and biblical commentary, Currie demonstrates the centrality of sacrifices in one's relationship with God-and how Jesus, the Ultimate Sacrifice, is central to our salvation.
"How is it possible for poor sinners to draw near to an infinitely holy God? What is it about the sacrificial system of the Old Testament that enabled men and women, boys and girls, to be presented to God? Why did Moses go into so much detail-painstakingly so at times-in the early books of the Bible to instruct God's ancient people on how to approach Him? Our God is a Consuming Fire, as we read in the letter to the Hebrews; so we do well to take these details seriously. In this short, easy-to-read book, Peter Currie explains in simple and practical terms what was involved in tabernacle worship. But much more than that, always using Scripture to interpret Scripture and with the help of appropriately chosen hymn and meditation excerpts from earlier writers, he draws connecting lines in which he applies profound spiritual truth to the lives of ordinary people today. Read and enjoy this important book!"

"Spending time reading and thinking about the tabernacle, its construction, the objects, and offerings will bring rich reward to anyone. Peter Currie takes us through The Tent in the Desert, so that we might not miss the significance of each item, offering, and sacrifice. Then, in each chapter, Peter helpfully and thoughtfully takes us to Christ who is the fulfillment, the One who alone can bring us into the glorious presence of God."
