Jesus and Temple
Textual and Archaeological Explorations
Description:... The
New Testament provides abundant evidence that Jesus frequented the temple, as
did his followers after his death. But the Gospels also depict Jesus in
conflict with temple authorities. Jesus’ attitude toward the temple is at the
center of current historical Jesus research, yet those discussions are often not
current with the latest archaeological and related findings. James H.
Charlesworth here gathers essays from world-renowned archaeologists and
biblical scholars to address the current state of knowledge and to consider
anew vital questions about the temple’s significance for Jesus, for his
followers, and for New Testament readers today.
