The Temple And The Church's Mission by Banjo Beale

A Biblical Theology of the Dwelling Place of God

Traces the Bible’s temple theme from Eden through Israel, Christ, and the church to the new creation, arguing that God’s purpose is to dwell with humanity and extend his holy presence to the ends of the earth. It presents the church as a Spirit-indwelt, priestly community that carries this mission through worship, holiness, and witness, culminating in the universal expansion of God’s dwelling in the new creation.
