"The Lectures of Dr. Seiss have homiletic value and a literary charm, to say nothing of their doctrinal teaching, that ought to give them a prominent place in every student's library."

—Fredrick W Farrar, Dean of Canterbury, author

"Twenty-one very admirable lectures, founded upon Bush and Bonar, but containing much original matter. The work deserves attention."

—Charles Spurgeon, Commenting and Commentaries

Every book of the Old Testament points forward to Christ. This is especially true of the book of Leviticus. Christ is the Great High Priest-and the book of Leviticus describes the office of the High Priest, a type of Christ.

That is why Dr. Seiss' scholarly treatment of the teachings of this book should be read by every alert Christian. He gives the symbolism of the book of Leviticus new meaning, presenting the Gospel truths of this book in an inspiring way.

Among the various phases of the priestly office which he discusses are:

The Burnt Offering

the Meat Offering

The Peace Offering

The Sin and Trespass Offerings

The Consecration of the Priest

The Day of Atonement

Personal Requirements of the Priests

and other vital Old Testament teachings as they relate to the priest and sanctuary.
