New Studies in Biblical Theology is a series of monographs that address key issues in the discipline of biblical theology. Contributions to the series focus on one or more of three areas: 1. the nature and status of biblical theology, including its relations with other disciplines (e.g. historical theology, exegesis, systematic theology, historical criticism, narrative theology); 2. the articulation and exposition of the structure of thought of a particular biblical writer or corpus; and 3. the delineation of a biblical theme across all or part of the biblical corpora.
Above all, these monographs are creative attempts to help thinking Christians understand their Bibles better. The series aims simultaneously to instruct and to edify, to interact with the current literature, and to point the way ahead. In Gods universe, mind and heart should not be divorced: in this series we will try not to separate what God has joined together. While the notes interact with the best of the scholarly literature, the text is uncluttered with untransliterated Greek and Hebrew, and tries to avoid too much technical jargon. The volumes are written within the framework of confessional evangelicalism, but there is always an attempt at thoughtful engagement with the sweep of the relevant literature.
Of the three approaches to biblical theology listed above, this volume follows the third. Dr Greg Beale traces out the theme of the tabernacle/temple across the Bibles story-line, illuminating text after text as he goes. But more, he shows that the significance and symbolism of the temple draw on cultural assumptions, with the result that his theology is well grounded not only in exegesis but also in history. And beyond that, he ventures some suggestions about the meaning of the temple in both the Old and the New Testaments that break new ground, enabling thoughtful readers to perceive connections in the text of Scripture that doubtless escaped them in the past. The importance of this book therefore lies not only in the competent handling of its chosen theme, but also in three other things: its evocative unpacking of the theme of the temple in its relations to broader structures of thought, including the kingdom of God; its modelling of the way biblical theology is to be done; and its capacity to cause readers to perceive fresh and wonderful things in the Scriptures, and bow in worship and gratitude.

This book had its birth as a three-page excursus to Revelation 22:12 in my commentary on Revelation (see Beale 1999a: 11091111). In 2001 I expanded the excursus into an extended paper, which was read at the Tyndale Fellowship Study Group on Biblical Theology in Cambridge, England (whose topic was on The Biblical Theology of the Temple). The paper, along with other papers at that conference, was subsequently published (see Beale 2004). I am thankful to the conveners of the Tyndale Study Group for giving me opportunity to deliver this paper and for including it in the published volume of papers from the conference.
The extended paper was still only the barest thumb-nail sketch of what I had in mind as a biblical theology of the temple. Therefore, I set out to write a fuller-scale work. I have discovered that some of the books chapters themselves need even further elaboration, but one has to stop somewhere.
This book has been the most exciting research project on which I have ever worked. It has opened my eyes to themes that I had seen only dimly before. In particular, I have seen more clearly than ever that the themes of Eden, the temple, Gods glorious presence, new creation and the mission of the church are ultimately facets of the same reality! It is my hope that the biblical-theological perspective of this book will provide greater fuel to fire the churchs motivation to fulfil its mission to the world.
I am indebted beyond words to my wife, Dorinda, who has discussed the theology of the temple with me for the past couple of years, and who remains as excited as I am about the subject. She has been one of the main instruments through which I have been able to understand this topic in more depth.
I also owe a great debt to Don Carson, the editor of this series. Don made a significant investment in reading and carefully evaluating the manuscript. His suggestions for revision were invaluable and have definitely made this a better book than it would have been! In addition, his encouragement about the projects viability throughout the editorial process has motivated me to finish it. Along with Don Carson, I must mention Philip Duce, Theological Books Editor at IVP in England, who has also read the manuscript and offered suggestions for improvement and encouragement. I am thankful to both Don and Philip for accepting this book for publication. I am similarly indebted to Jeff Niehaus, Gordon Hugenberger, Dan Master, John Monson and John Walton for reading and commenting on parts of this book, as well as alerting me to some OT and ANE sources.
