Description
Temple Theology explores the origins of Christianity and its connection to the ancient Jewish Temple. Margaret Barker argues that the early Christian faith emerged from a centuries-old Hebrew longing for God's original Temple, which is reflected in the Old Testament exile theology. This book delves into the complex heritage of the Old Testament and examines how it relates to fundamental Christian concepts such as atonement, creation, and covenant. By tracing these connections, Barker sheds new light on the theology of the original Jewish Temple and its significance for understanding Christianity. Through a thorough examination of temple theology, Barker reveals the fascinating ways in which early Christians drew upon their shared heritage with the Hebrew tradition.
