Kevin de Ataíde’s Reviews > The House of the Lord: A Catholic Biblical Theology of God's Temple Presence in the Old and New Testaments > Status Update

A glorious ending. Now for the fitting conclusion: how the Church incorporated Temple theology into our buildings from the earliest times.

And finally to the end, with Hebrews and Apocalypse. This has been quite a ride.

The Passion narrative as an extraordinary Temple liturgy. How interesting.

And finally we're at the Temple of His Body. The rest of the book is probably this theme played out by the Apostles and priests like S. Paul.

Miracles and exorcisms as being sacerdotal acts connected with the Temple... very interesting indeed. It's odd to think that, as the sacred buildings stood in Jerusalem, the true Temple was walking about the lanes in Galilee.

Book has started to get repetitive. And the typos are still on almost every page.

And thus the scene is finally set for the definitive building of the Temple and messianic restoration of Eden: in Christ.

And the Temple of Solomon comes tumbling down... has the project for restoring mankind to Eden ended?

And then, the missioning of the Torah to the Gentiles under the guise of Lady Wisdom, in the so-called Wisdom literature... the Torah as it lives within the Temple in Jerusalem. Just wonderful.
