Book Description
The Devil's Tabernacle is the first book to examine in depth the intellectual and cultural impact of the oracles of pagan antiquity on modern European thought. Anthony Ossa-Richardson shows how the study of the oracles influenced, and was influenced by, some of the most significant developments in early modernity, such as the Christian humanist recovery of ancient religion, confessional polemics, Deist and libertine challenges to religion, antiquarianism and early archaeology, Romantic historiography, and spiritualism. Ossa-Richardson examines the different views of the oracles since the Renaissance--that they were the work of the devil, or natural causes, or the fraud of priests, or finally an organic element of ancient Greek society. The range of discussion on the subject, as he demonstrates, is considerably more complex than has been realized before: hundreds of scholars, theologians, and critics commented on the oracles, drawing on a huge variety of intellectual contexts to frame their beliefs. In a central chapter, Ossa-Richardson interrogates the landmark dispute on the oracles between Bernard de Fontenelle and Jean-François Baltus, challenging Whiggish assumptions about the mechanics of debate on the cusp of the Enlightenment. With erudition and an eye for detail, he argues that, on both sides of the controversy, to speak of the ancient oracles in early modernity was to speak of one's own historical identity as a Christian.

Book Description
Mankind has spent untold sums of money to erect churches, temples, shrines, mosques, and other houses of worship, and yet we have only provided three Holy of Holies in recorded history where the Lord God could live among his people. All have been destroyed. In "The Next Tabernacle: According to the Lord God's Word," Charles Keech makes a powerful argument for the building of a new tabernacle. Citing scripture from both the Old and New Testaments, he explains what the tabernacle was, why it was important, and what we must do to restore it. Those who desire that God dwell among us once again will find Mr. Keech's message difficult to ignore.

Book Description
Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly --mere infants in Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:1 God created mankind spiritual beings like Himself, and God's intention was to live forever with them. Because of man's rebellion against God, man died spiritually and now lives under the powerlessness of his soul --intellect, emotion, and will. Man's intellect gathers information from the senses of the body and processes it, his emotion decides what he desires to do, and his will carries out his soul's evil intent. Even though man was spiritually separated from Him, God still desired to live among His people. God's first dwelling place was a tent called the tabernacle, and His second dwelling place which replaced the tabernacle was the temple in Jerusalem. Both dwellings shared three distinct parts: the courtyard, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies --where God dwelt above the Ark. The tearing of the temple's curtain at Christ's death signifies God leaving the temple to dwell within man, His new sacred temple. Man's soul with its intellect, emotion, and will forms the new Holy Place and corresponds to the lampstand, the altar of incense, and the table of showbread. Man's re-born spirit with its intuition, conscience, and communion forms the new Holy of Holies and corresponds to Aaron's staff, the two stone tablets, and the gold jar of manna --all of which Moses placed in the Ark. Now through Christ man no longer has to live by the powerlessness of his soul because God dwells within man. The Holy Spirit's presence enables Christians to be spiritual, experiencing the power of Christ's resurrection. The intent of this book is for people to understand their past, identify their spiritual position, and grasp what God desires them to become.

Book Description
In this book we give an overall description of God's plan for all mankind. There are numerous messages such as the present Resurrection, showing that resurrection is not merely the experience of those who die physically, but for anyone wanting to experience a deeper oneness in God. We also show Old Testament types of the Person and Work of Christ, and what that means to us. We look at advancing in the Most Holy Place, God's Apology to man, the generation of Jesus Christ, the stones in the breastplate of the high priest, and how we can be a partaker of what most believe to be merely historical. We explore other truths for those who are seeking a fuller understanding of the Bible.
