Über den Autor

Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 15, 1771. He began his literary career by writing metrical tales. The Lay of the Last Minstrel, Marmion, and The Lady of the Lake made him the most popular poet of his day. Sixty-five hundred copies of The Lay of the Last Minstrel were sold in mehr anzeigen the first three years, a record sale for poetry. His other poems include The Vision of Don Roderick, Rokeby, and The Lord of the Isles. He then abandoned poetry for prose. In 1814, he anonymously published a historical novel, Waverly, or, Sixty Years Since, the first of the series known as the Waverley novels. He wrote 23 novels anonymously during the next 13 years. The first master of historical fiction, he wrote novels that are historical in background rather than in character: A fictitious person always holds the foreground. In their historical sequence, the Waverley novels range in setting from the year 1090, the time of the First Crusade, to 1700, the period covered in St. Roman's Well (1824), set in a Scottish watering place. His other works include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and The Bride of Lammermoor. He died on September 21, 1832. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

My review would only echo the forword;
THE TABERNACLE: WHAT A GLORIOUS SUBJECT!
If anyone doubts it's importance to the unveiling of God's ultimate Dedemtive pourposes in Christ, let that person consider the fact that the record of creation occupies but two chapters of Scripture, whereas details of the construction of the Tabernacle extends to fourteen chapters!
The only criticism would be that my poor feeble mind would like to see illustrations of this glorious residence of God, although Walter Scott does go some way to alleviate this by his descriptive use of words.
The Tabernacle is but a shadow, a pattern, a type of Christ, Christ being the embodiment, the fulfillment, but by studying the Tabernacle we see the wonder of Scripture revealing Him to us.
