Margaret Barker believes that Christianity developed so quickly
because it was a return to far older faith - far older than the
Greek culture that is long-held to have influenced Christianity.
Temple Theology explains that the preaching of the gospel and the
early Christian faith grew out of the centuries' old Hebrew longing
for God's original Temple. These longings form the basis of the Old
Testament exile theology and cause us reassess the relationship
between Christianity and the Hebrew tradition. This is no
fundamentalist work harking back to the idea that 'the oldest is
the purest' Rather it is recognition that the Old Testament has a
complex heritage and that those who shared this heritage did not
share the same beliefs or scriptures - amongst these people were
the first Christians. In her exploration of temple theology,
Margaret Barker finds clear references and beliefs in fundamental
Christian concepts such as atonement, creation and covenant. This
is a thorough and fascinating exploration of the theology of the
original Jewish Temple.
