- Summary:
- "This study probes the significance of Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 3:16, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells among you?" By surveying relevant literary texts and material culture, the author shows how Paul appropriated the temple concept in his exhortation to the Corinthians. Careful analysis of the religious experience of visitors to temples gives clarity to Paul's temple discourse."-- Back cover.
