The Tabernacle in the Wilderness

Brethren Writers Library, Book 22

By: John Ritchie

Narrated by: Paul Ansdell

The Tabernacle in the Wilderness was published in 1891. Since then several generations of believers have been introduced to the rich pastures of Old Testament teaching. This new revised edition has been commissioned and produced in the belief that such teaching is timeless in its relevance and applicability. It is presented in a style, format, and language suited to modern-day listeners - especially for young believers in the 21st century.

As the different sections and structures of the Tabernacle are described, some very practical teaching for our daily lives is given. The topics range from our need of salvation from sin to our present service for God.

In addition to the very practical issues raised for our individual and corporate lives, the typical teachings of the Tabernacle all points to Christ, of course. He is the great subject of all scripture. As we study the materials of the construction, the fabrics and the colors, the priests and the sacrifices, we are helped and encouraged to appreciate, worship and adore the person of our Lord and Savior. This was the overwhelming objective of the original author, as it is the desire of all who have been involved in the production of this 21st-century edition.

Had never heard of John Ritchie

We started a bible study at church on the tabernacle and I was looking for teaching resources and came upon Mr. Ritchie and his writings and I'm immensely pleased with them. He offers huge doses spiritual meaning and theology which I found both very helpful and beautiful. He really gave me the Why are we endeavoring to dig into this topic so much - well Ritchie gives us a lot of meat to chew on. He's also a fascinating man and missionary to read about too - a wonderful saint I look forward to meeting.
