false 1091805 2 Whereas most scholarship has concentrated upon the synagogue, Margaret Barker's work on the Jerusalem temple contributes to our understanding of the meaning and importance of many elements of Christian liturgy which have hitherto remained obscure. This book opens up a new field of research. The any subjects addressed include the roots of the Eucharist in various temple rituals and offerings other than Passover, the meaning of the holy of holies and the Christian sanctuary, the cosmology of temple and church, the significance of the Veil of the Temple for understanding priesthood and Incarnation, the Holy Wisdom and the Mother of God, angels and priesthood, the concept of unity, the high priestly tradition in the early church and evidence that Christianity was a conscious continuation of the temple. 1078608 7 2003 The Great High Priest: The Temple Roots of Christian Liturgy total:6|5:2|4:3|2:1| 6 24 12 3 2 0 false false Sat Aug 01 11:08:51 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 11:11:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 09 15:16:19 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 15:18:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 23 15:00:36 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 15:01:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Mar 18 20:40:51 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 20:40:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 27 18:18:05 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 18:18:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 26 12:13:43 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 12:13:43 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Nov 14 19:50:27 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 19:50:38 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 23 07:38:03 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 07:38:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 09 00:21:04 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 00:21:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 05 04:43:08 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 04:43:08 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 01 12:16:32 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 12:16:32 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon May 26 10:54:22 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 10:54:22 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1091805
