Description
Temple Mysticism: An Introduction by Margaret Barker explores the idea that temple mysticism underpins much of the Bible. This theory suggests that the cult of the first temple in ancient Judaism influenced the origins of Christianity. Barker examines biblical texts, including Isaiah and John, before proposing a more detailed picture based on non-biblical sources. Her hypothesis offers new insights into questions such as Jesus' identity and purpose, and how early Christians understood their faith and expressed it in worship. Temple Mysticism presents some remarkable results, shedding light on the complex background of the New Testament.
