Summary:Archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic, and historical research is used to illuminate the meaning and function of temples in both Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures. This evidence is then brought into a dialogue with a literary analysis of how the temple functions as a symbol in Revelation.
Die Bedeutung und Funktion von Tempeln sowohl in der jüdischen wie auch der griechisch-römischen Kultur wird mittels archäologischer, epigraphischer, numismatischer und historischer Forschung erhellt. Die Ergebnisse werden dann in einer Textanalyse der biblischen Johannesoffenbarung angewendet. Leitend ist dabei die Fragestellung, wie in der Offenbarung auf den Tempel als bedeutungsreiches Symbol zurückgegriffen wird.
