This major work examines the subject of Temple and Worship in
biblical Israel, ranging from their ancient Near Eastern and
archaeological background, through the Old Testament and Late
Second Temple Judaism, and up to the New Testament. It is the
product of an international team of twenty-three noted scholars.
Special attention is paid to such subjects as the ideology of
temples and the evidence for high places in Israel and the
Canaanite world; the architecture and symbolism of Solomon's
Temple; the attitude of various parts of the Old Testament to the
Temple and cult, including that of several prophets; the light shed
on Temple worship by the Psalms; the role and fate of the Ark of
the Covenant; and the Day of Atonement. It also examines attitudes
to the Temple in the Septuagint, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the
Dead Sea Scrolls, first-century Judaism, and the New Testament.
This important work is the product of an impressive array of
twenty-three noted scholars. The contributors include John Barton,
H.G.M. Williamson, John Day, Susan Gillingham, John Jarick, C.T.R.
Hayward, Michael Knibb, George Brooke, Martin Goodman, Christopher
Rowland and Larry Kreitzer.A
