Lectures on the Levitical Offerings
Overview
The book of Leviticus is commonly avoided for its obscure sacrifices, empty rituals, and mundane ceremonies which the modern church is no longer obligated to practice. Yet that makes Leviticus no less important. Although Ironside warns against basing doctrine on the Levitical offerings, he does successfully show that the Old Testament is meant to illustrate and emphasize the central doctrines of the New Testament. In particular, Leviticus illuminates the doctrine of the atonement, and each of the five offerings found in Leviticus foreshadows the work of Christ. The book of Leviticus should not be discarded, but studied, and Ironside’s volume offers an excellent introduction.

Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad.

“The five offerings may be divided in various ways. First we notice that four of them are offerings involving the shedding of blood—the Burnt offering, the Peace offering, the Sin offering, and the Trespass offering. The Meat offering, or, as it should read, the Meal offering or Food offering, was an unbloody offering, and stands in a place by itself. Then again there are sweet savor offerings as distinguished from offerings for sin. The burnt offering, the meal offering and the peace offering are all said to be ‘for a sweet savor unto the Lord.’ This was never true of the sin offering or the trespass offering.” (Page 6)
“Communion with God is when my soul enters into His thoughts concerning His Son.” (Page 13)
“In John’s Gospel our Lord Jesus Christ is seen as the burnt offering, offering Himself without spot unto God, a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor, and that is why in John there is no mention made of the awful cry of anguish, ‘My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me!’” (Page 12)
“I am not a sinner because I sin; I sin because I am a sinner” (Page 54)
“the meal offering, the peace offering, and the sin offering, to the trespass offering” (Page 7)

H. A. Ironside (1876–1951) is one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers. He has received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was frequently invited to lecture at Dallas Theological Seminary.
After a serving as a Salvation Army officer for a brief period, Ironside joined the Plymouth Brethren and started what would become a highly successful itinerant ministry of preaching and teaching. He served as pastor at Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and preached more than 7,000 sermons during his lifetime.
Harry A. Ironside produced close to 100 major books and pamphlets, mainly on expository and prophetic themes. He was a major figure in the popularizing of dispensationalism among American evangelicals and for the most part followed the views of the Scofield Reference Bible. Ironside’s first-edition commentaries, most-loved sermons, addresses, lectures, and tracts are available in The Works of H. A. Ironside (65 vols.).
