DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Tent of His Splendour is about the Tabernacle in the Old Testament. It was based on a new edition of 'According to the Pattern' first written in 1943 by Brother A J Flack and subsequently revised by him in 1962. We are pleased to have the permission of the author for the translation of his book and are thankful to Christian Testimony Ministry for publishing the Chinese version (in addition to the English). As I am writing this brief, the author is currently living in Southampton, UK and by God's grace, we celebrated his 104th birthday in July 2011. Brother Flack believes that there is spiritual value and meaning in every detail provided concerning this Tent of His Splendour. He has found it an inspiration and instruction to his spiritual service. He commends this book therefore to his Chinese readers not because he is in any way an authority on this subject but rather in the hope that in sharing together what the Lord has taught us, we may together come closer to His thought and purpose in our Calling. May this book be used for the glory of God and be a blessing to everyone who reads it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is the first attempt in biblical studies to apply the tools developed by theoreticians of metaphor to the common biblical metaphor of God as king. The extent to which elements of human kingship are projected onto God is investigated, and several significant conclusions emerge: 1. Royal characteristics that have a diminutive connotation are generally not projected onto God. 2. God's nature as greatest king is emphasized through use of superlatives. For example, his garb is enormous and he has a large number of royal attendants. God is not limited by the metaphor. 3. When the entailments of the metaphor would have conflicted with Israelite proscriptions, such as the iconic prohibition, the metaphor is avoided. 4. The metaphor is predominant enough to influence Israel's depiction of human kingship. For example, the term gadol ('great', 'majestic') is appropriated by God the king and is not used of the Israelite king. 5. There is no single metaphor 'God is king'; as Israelite kingship changes, the metaphor undergoes parallel changes. Also, biblical authors emphasize different aspects of God's kingship in specific contexts. The lack of a complete fit between human kingship (the vehicle) and God as king (the tenor) is consistent with the tensive view of metaphor, which predominates in contemporary scholarship. The literary study has other benefits. By enumerating the parallels between human and heavenly messengers, it finds that 'angels' should be construed as projections of royal officials. The analysis of human enthronement rituals as they are projected onto God suggests that there was no annual 'enthronement festival' which celebrated God becoming king. The systematic study of the metaphor also opens new avenues for exploring a number of issues in the study of Israelite religion.
