For a long time scholarship has been seeking the origins of
Christian worship in the synagogue. In this new major book,
Margaret Barker traces the roots of Christian worship back to the
Jewish temple. By proposing a temple setting, a great deal more can
be explained, and the existing rather limited resources can be more
fruitfully used. By working with a great variety of sources
(canonical, extra-canonical and Fathers, all presented here in
tranlsation), it is possible to reconstruct something of the early
Christian world view, which shows the Church as the conscious
continuation of the temple worship. Fundamental practices such as
baptism and the Eucharist had Temple Roots, and familiar words in
the liturgy of the church such as Maranatha and Hallelujah derived
from the ancient belief that the Lord appeared in the Temple. Jesus
was the God of Israel manifested as a the Great High Priest, and
the Christians were his new angel priesthood, singing the angelic
liturgy to restore and renew the earth. The chapters in this book
cover baptism, in theology and practice, the Eucharist, with
special emphasis on the symbolism of the elements, the significance
of music and hymns, festivals and pilgrimage, use of the
Scriptures, both what the early Christians used and how they read
them, prayers, including the Lord's prayer, and the shape of church
buildings.
