Shadow and Reality dares to deal with a topic that some Bible students avoid like the avian flu — why were shadow precepts instituted in ancient Israel, and what significance, if any, do they hold for the Christian pilgrim?

Questions raised and discussed include,

• Which covenant promised that God would dwell among men in a temple — the Abrahamic or the Sinaitic?
• What value does God Himself seem to place on shadows?
• Does Scripture show that God despises animal sacrifice?
• What do the priesthood, temple objects, and sacrifices symbolize?
• What is the point of purity laws?
• What realities are portrayed in the Sabbath and the biblical holy days?
• Was David speaking figuratively when he spoke of dwelling in the temple forever?
• Why did Jesus cleanse the temple if it was about to lose its significance?
• What was Jesus' attitude to Old Testament shadows?
• What does Colossians 2:16-17 mean?
• What is wrong with popular shadow theory?
• If a temple were built, should Christians take part in ceremonies conducted there?
• What did the author of Hebrews mean when he said that shadows were “imposed until the time of reformation”?
• Why will a temple be built during Jesus' millennial reign?
• Will the millennial temple have the ark of the covenant in it?

This book is a must for all who want to understand what the Bible has to say on this vital and oft-misunderstood topic.
