This volume uncovers the meaning and significance of the Jewish
Temple and its service during the first centuries of its existence.
The sources indicate that the Temple and its rites were seen as
holding the universe together, providing order and meaning in a
world which could otherwise easily lapse into chaos. The author
offers an analysis of surviving accounts of the Temple and its
service. All the central texts are provided in translation, with a
detailed commentary. While descriptions of the Temple and its
service are available, discussions of the meaning of these things
are less easily found. This study illustrates how the Temple was
seen as a meeting point between heaven and earth, its service being
an earthly representation of heavenly reality. Jews regarded the
Temple service therfore as having significance for the whole
created world. This collection of materials is aimed at both those
looking for an introduction to the topic and for the scholar
interested in grasping the meanings beyond those texts.
