The History of the Tribe of Levi Considered
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
God sets us apart as a royal priesthood. What does it mean to be a priest? Mackintosh studies the life of Levi and the history of the Levites to understand the nature of the priesthood and the implications of being set apart by God. The History of the Tribe of Levi Considered examines the history of the tribe of Levi, the order of the priesthood, the scope and functions of Levitical offerings, and the priestly duties administered by the Levites. More importantly, the life of Levi reflects the character of God as it unfolds in history, and points to the life of Christ and the broader work of God which continues into the present. Levi serves as an exemplar for those set apart by God.
Man’s complete ruin in sin, and God’s perfect remedy in Christ, are fully, clearly, and often strikingly presented [in Mackintosh’s writings].
—Andrew Miller, a leader of the Plymouth Brethren movement

Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820–1896) was notable for his work in philanthropic work during the Irish Potatoe Famine which affected much of Ireland, Scotland, and England at the time. He converted to Christianity through correspondence with his sister and through reading John Darby's Operations of the Spirit.
