Methods used in Temple Theology

Temple Theology draws on all available resources:  

  • Hebrew and Greek Scriptures
  • New Testament
  • Jewish and Christian Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha
  • Dead Sea Scrolls
  • Other Ancient Near Eastern texts
  • Gnostic texts
  • Rabbinic and later Jewish writings and traditions
  • Early Christian writings and liturgies
  • Memories that survive in art and architecture 

A complex and sophisticated theology is beginning to re-emerge from the symbols and stories of a pre-philosophical culture.
