The image of the Temple speaks of a building, of a place of God's
heavenly presence, and yet the experience of many Christians has
been of God's indwelling in the human heart. In God Dwells with Us,
Mary Coloe crosses the centuries through John's Gospel text and
plunges into the experience of the Johannine community. Here,
readers receive a sense of God's indwelling as promised by Jesus,
and how it relates to the symbol of the Temple in the gospel
narrative. In the years after the destruction of Jerusalem and its
Temple, the Johannine community looked to the symbol of the Temple
as a key means of expressing its new faith in Jesus. During his
lifetime he was the living presence of Israel's God dwelling in
history. In the absence of the historical Jesus, the believing
community - past, present, and future - continue to be a locus for
the divine indwelling and so can truly be called a living Temple.
God Dwells with Us offers a new and consistent perspective on the
symbol of the Temple which clarifies the christology of the Fourth
Gospel. It establishes a new plot for this gospel - the destroying
and raising of the Temple; and shows how this occurs within the
text. The chapters provide a new approach to its structure. It is
unique in its treatment of John14:2 where it establishes that the
new Temple is the household of believers on earth. It also presents
a new interpretation of the Johannine Crucifixion and the scene
with Jesus' mother and the Beloved Disciple. Chapters are God's
Dwelling Place in Israel," "The Temple of His Body: 2:13-15," "The
Supplanter: 4:1-45,""The Tabernacling Presence of God: 7:1-8:59,"
"The Consecrated One: 10:22-42," "My Father's House 14:1-31," and
"Raising the New Temple: 18:1-19:42." Mary L. Coloe, PBVM, ThD,
teaches at the Australian Catholic University at Melbourne. "
