NO OF PAGES: 458 SUB CAT I: Temple SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: In this comprehensive study, G.K. Beale argues that the Old Testament tabernacle and temples were symbolically designed to point to the end-time reality that God's presence, formerly limited to the Holy of Holies, would be extended throughout the cosmos. Hence, John's vision in Revelation 21 is best understood as picturing the new heavens and earth as the eschatological temple. Beal's stimulating exposition traces the theme of the tabernacle and temple across the Bible's story line, illuminating many texts and closely related themes along the way. He shows how the significance and symbolism of the temple can be better understood in the context of ancient Near Eastern assumptions, and offers new insights into the meaning of the temple in both Old and New Testaments.NOTES: Purchased online from Amazon.com.

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. . . . And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem. . . . And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man."

Though by no means an easy read, professor Beale's admirable grasp of details in both the New Testament and the Old, his exemplary exegesis of Biblical texts, together with his remarkable insights in Ancient Near Eastern studies are all evident in this magnificent work. The Temple and the Church's Mission is an exercise in biblical theology par excellence. I recommend it to every serious student of the Bible, and to any Christian who yearns to know more about God and His Heart.
