Hi All,
I hope this is the right place to post this. If you think the fit is tenuous at best, I agree, but it would be at least as out of place in any other category in my opinion.
I'd like to develop a Sunday school series for my church at least loosely based on Beale's The Temple and the Church's mission. My picture (still developing) is to cover the theme of the presence of God with his people. I will begin at Eden with the temple-like aspects, continue through God reestablishing his presence to the Patriarchs, through the tabernacle, the Temple, the second temple, Ezekiel's temple/Christ/The church, and finish with God dwelling so perfectly with his people that a temple is superfluous in the closing chapters of Revelation. Or, maybe I'll come up with something different as I start to research and write. In a way, it will be a survey of redemptive history, but focusing in on the temple specifically.
Here is my question. Can anyone point me towards any solid books or sermon series that might fill in some gaps or provide competing ideas to Beale's that I should consider?
