Abstract

The article focuses on Gary A. Anderson's book *That I May Dwell Among Them: Incarnation and Atonement in the Tabernacle Narrative*, which offers a detailed theological interpretation of the Old Testament tabernacle narrative and its significance for Christian doctrine, particularly the understanding of atonement. Anderson emphasizes the narrative's complexity and coherence, situating it within its broader canonical context, including the golden calf and binding of Isaac stories, and incorporates both literary and non-literary receptions, such as archaeological findings. He approaches the text with a two-testament perspective, highlighting the interplay between Old and New Testaments, and explores the tabernacle's relevance to the incarnation of Jesus and a model of atonement based on self-giving rather than substitution. The work is noted for its theological generosity and integration of diverse interpretive resources, making it a significant contribution to biblical scholarship.
