Description
Summary:Margaret Barker is a fascinating scholar who writes books that are a gift to the preacher. Her account of Temple theology is an original, insightful, and profoundly biblical and liturgical way of reading the Old Testament, and in this present work, the New Testament as well. She works as an independent scholar, outside the academy, for Patriarch Bartholomew, and she is a Methodist lay preacher. It may well be that this independent stance, combined with her experience as a preacher, have played crucial roles in the discoveries she has made into the meaning of the Old Testament when read through the rituals and practices of the Temple. But crucial also was her experience of Orthodox worship.
