The second book in this series, this text focuses on textual comments and believer edification of Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Although the text isn't focused on textual research of a theological exegesis, the commentary does try to bring the ideas and assertions made by Moses, Aaron, Joshua and other figures of the pre-covenant founding of the nation of Israel. This book is handy for anyone who wants to read into commentary history as well as to get a good solid look at how these texts can apply to our lives.

This book is a rational attempt to document what is referred to in the Bible as worshipping "in truth." The approach is to first convince the reader that the Bible is the true word of God; that is is infallible; and that it is the only source of God's message to man that we are ever to get. With that accomplished, the scriptures are used to describe God's attributes, often by showing how God dealt with the various characters and peoples in events recounted in the Bible. Still using only scriptures to develop the narrative, it goes into God's selection of a particular people to prepare future Christians for the fulfillment of His plan for mankind. The need for salvation is revealed, and Jesus is presented to deliver salvation, to the eternal exaltation of Jesus. The conversion process whereby one goes from lost sinner to saved saint is described.
