Reviews

'This is a scholarly work written for those who have either a professional interest in the development of early Christian liturgy or are serious non-professionals. As far as the latter are concerned, they will need to apply themselves to the text with great diligence as a considerable amount of information is conveyed on every page and much of it will probably be new. But diligence will have its reward.'--Sanford Lakoff

Barker is one of a growing number who have seen the potential significance of the Temple and its mythology for the classic Christian Creeds.
