According to Margaret Barker's groundbreaking theory, temple
mysticism underpins much of the Bible. Rooted in the cult of the
first temple in ancient Judaism, it helps us to understand the
origins of Christianity. Temple mysticism was received and taught
as oral tradition, and many texts were changed or suppressed or
kept from public access. Barker first examines biblical texts:
Isaiah, the prophet whom Jesus quoted more than any other in
Scripture, and John. Then she proposes a more detailed picture,
drawing on a wide variety of non-biblical texts. The resulting book
presents some remarkable results.
