Listen to Greg Beale give the overview of his thought provoking book on the biblical theology of Scripture’s temple motif, The Temple and the Church’s Mission (ISBN: 0830826181). Dr. Beale creatively argues from a thorough exegesis of the Hebrew Scriptures that the Garden of Eden was the first (typological) temple. He explores Adam and Eve’s role as that of extending the Garden/temple throughout the whole earth.

Interesting topic for certain. Thanks for the notice of this book.
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for YOU are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
In thy light, we shall see light.
Greg Beale’s lecture blew my mind! I’m so thankful that you posted it. It’s beautiful, robust, Christ-honoring Biblical Theology. It helps me understand Revelation better, and I’m even more excited about preaching from it.
