| Summary: | Thisis an elaboration of a Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Groningen. Its starting point is Paul's use of cultic imagery in such passages as: ‘Do you not know that you are God's temple and the God's Spirit dwells in you?’ (1 Cor. 3:16). This theme recurs in 1 Cor. 6:19, ‘Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit’, and 2 Cor. 6:16, ‘We are the temple of the living God’. Apostles are like people employed in temple service (1 Cor. 9:13). Paul is ‘poured out as a libation over the sacrifice … of your faith’ (Phil. 2:17). Hogeterp argues that these are more than ‘spiritualising’ metaphors. ‘Spiritualisation’ belongs to a post-ad 70 perspective. The first two chapters examine Jewish attitudes to the temple, including those of Qumran. |
