The Lord is There: Christian Views of the Temple in the First Century AD

During the first century, Yeshua (Jesus) and the original Christians viewed the temple as God\u27s dwelling place on earth. Informed by the Hebrew Bible, which they saw as the Holy Scriptures, they continued to hold the temple in high regard. The writings of the New Testament display the thoughts of the first Christians and the teachings of Yeshua concerning their understanding of the Jerusalem temple. This study explores the views of the temple in the New Testament and other Christian writings from the first century to demonstrate that most Christians and especially the writings of the New Testament continue to venerate the temple as a legitimate place of worship for Christians
