Gospel in Leviticus - CCS by Joseph A Seiss and published by Classics.
A popular exposition of the Levitical ceremonies, with their typical import and relations, covers a field comparatively unoccupied. The nearest approaches to it are contained in the Commentaries of George Bush and A. A. Bonar, from which material help has been derived in the preparation of these Lectures.
The design of the author has been, in a connected way, to trace the grand features of the Gospel, and the method of salvation in Christ Jesus, as given in the ancient rites fifteen hundred years before the Saviour came; and thus to develop not only an interesting illustration of the plan of grace from figures of God’s own choosing, but also an argument for the inspiration of the Scriptures and the Divinity of the Christian system.
The Lectures themselves were written a few years ago, and publicly delivered in the city of Baltimore during the winter of 1857 - 8. They were subsequently revised, and delivered in the city of Philadelphia. The interest manifested on the part of the large audiences who listened to both the first and second delivery of them, and the repeated and urgent solicitations made for their publication, have induced the belief that the circulation of them in book form would be acceptable to many, and do a good work for Christ and his cause. They are herewith given to the public, accompanied with the earnest prayer that the Divine blessing may attend them, and make them useful in the holy cause to which alone they are devoted.
