Olford stretches to make everything in the Tabernacle a prophecy of things to come in Heaven, and the church. What might have been a good study, was overcome by allegorization.
Deals with the relevance of the Christian message (the Gospel), using I Corinthians 1:9 through 2:16. Considers the Contradiction, Character, Community, Communication, and Comprehension of the Christian Message. Well organized and a somewhat scholarly tone--appealed to me, but doesn't fit most of today's audience--no anecdotes, personal applications, slang, etc.
Olford was poorly served by this book's editor as there are numerous spelling and grammatical errors in the text. The book over-promises and under delivers on content. Olford has done better work.
Biblical revival is supremely Son-focused--it is utterly Christ-dominated. Some of us call it a Christ-awakening. If any spiritual experience--whether called revival or something else--diminishes, bypasses, or leads people away from Chirst, it is not God and holds no hope for any generation.
