Based on four lectures she is currently given, this book is in the tradition of Margaret Barker's "Temple Theology" (sold 2202) - smaller and more accessible than her series of mighty tomes. Subjects covered include the Jerusalem temple, the Enoch traditions (the role of theosis - the human becoming divine - which is central to Orthodox theology, the original meaning of the Son of God and the role of Knowledge/wisdom in all this); the High Priesthood (including Melchizedek, and Jesus as Melchizedek in "Hebrews", as the resurrected priest, the bringer of the Kingdom, as in the "Dead Sea Scrolls"); the "Revelation" - the coming of the Kingdom and how these pre-Christian visions inspired Jesus' own preaching of the Kingdom. Lastly, there is a chapter on what the Church did with the idea of the Kingdom and what it means now, including environmental significance.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    A number of books have been written which have tried to ‘re-discover’ or ‘uncover’ the lost tradition of the kingdom of God. Few can have so boldly identified this ‘hidden’ tradition with the Jerusalem Temple and its cult. Although closely argued with profuse illustrations from the Pseudepigrapha as well as scripture, the books argument is hard to accept. Much is made of such texts as 1Enoch; and Revelation is quoted more often than any of the Gospels. Clearly the Temple was very important to the early Christians, but not that important. No mention is made of the Shiloh period either, when the central elements of the cult had sunk into relative obscurity. This is book to handle with care.
