Envisioning the Temple takes as its starting point a
text attributed to the priestly circles from which the
Judean Desert sect emerged: the Temple Scroll.
From the point in the Second Temple period when
the Dead Sea Scrolls were created, we look back
to the biblical period - the Tabernacle in the
wilderness and the First Temple - and forward to
the subsequent evolution of the idea of the Temple.
The first chapter includes an appendix summarizing
the early sanctuaries in Israel's history: the
Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, and Ezekiel's vision
of a restored temple. Chapter Two puts the Temple
Scroll in context by examining the political, social,
and religious developments of the Second Temple
period. In the third chapter the image of the Temple
in various artistic and literary sources dating from
the first to the nineteenth centuries is surveyed.
