Praise for this book

Beale has written a comprehensive (and to my mind, convincing) biblical theology, centering on the role of the temple both in Scripture and in the Ancient Near East.

--David Renwick, Lexington Theological Quarterly, Spring 2007

I recommend this work for anyone wrestling with eschatological issues of fulfillment or handling temple texts that are dealt with in this book. As for me, I intend to have the book handy anytime I apporach biblical theology as a guidebook in methodology.

--Tim Barker, Truth on Fire blog, July 12, 2008

. . . One of the finest studies in biblical theology available.

--Andrews University Seminary Studies, Fall 2007

"[Beale's] exegesis and theological insights will provoke [readers] in their own study of the Temple."

--Missiology, January 2006
