具体描述
Margaret Barker has been researching and writing about the Jerusalem temple for over twenty years. Many of her studies have remained unpublished.
Here for the first time her work on the roots of Christian liturgy has been brought together.Whereas most scholarship has concentrated upon the synagogue, Margaret Barker's work on the Jerusalem temple contributes significantly to our understanding of the meaning and importance of many elements of Christian liturgy which have hitherto remained obscure.
This book opens up a new field of research.The many subjects addressed include the roots of the Eucharist in various temple rituals and offerings other than Passover, the meaning of the holy of holies and the Christian sanctuary, the cosmology of temple and church, the significance of the Veil of the Temple for understanding priesthood and Incarnation, the Holy Wisdom and the Mother of God, angels and priesthood, the concept of unity, the high priestly tradition in the early church and evidence that Christianity was a conscious continuation of the temple.
All scholars and students whose interest encompasses the origins of Christian (and Orthodox) liturgy, the Old Testament, early Christianity, Jewish Christian relations, Platonism and the origins of Islam will find this book a hugely rewarding source of information and new ideas.

"This book will surely fascinate and convince many readers."
—Robert Murray SJ
'...fascinating to read some Bible study done by the Methodist scholar Margaret Barker, developed in The Great High Priest: The Temple Roots of the Christian Liturgy...Without accepting everything Dr Barker says (for she is celebrated as a maverick), it is enlightening to look at the Eucharist in relation to the Jewish Day of Atonement, rather than to the Passover as usual. (Christopher Howse The Daily Telegraph)
'This is a scholarly work written for those who have either a professional interest in the development of early Christian liturgy or are serious non-professionals. As far as the latter are concerned, they will need to apply themselves to the text with great diligence as a considerable amount of information is conveyed on every page and much of it will probably be new. But diligence will have its reward.'

对于那些寻求轻松娱乐的读者，我可能会建议三思，但对于渴望被文字挑战、渴望深入探索人性深渊的同好，我强烈推荐这部作品。它的结构复杂得像一座巴洛克式的建筑，充满了隐藏的回廊和不断重复的图案，你需要耐心去辨认每一根柱子和雕塑的含义。最让我震撼的是作者构建的那个封闭世界，虽然细节写得极其写实，但整体氛围却充满了魔幻现实主义的色彩。这种介于真实与荒诞之间的拉扯感，使得故事的寓意更加深远。它不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一个关于“信仰的边界”的寓言。当你读到结尾时，你会发现，你真正关心的已经不再是故事中人物的命运，而是故事本身揭示出的关于人类集体心理和无意识欲望的真相。那种精神上的饱胀感，是久违的。
评分这本书像一剂强效的镇静剂，又像一剂强力的兴奋剂，它以一种极其内敛的方式，探讨了“秩序”的脆弱性。作者的文笔简洁有力，没有冗余的辞藻，每一个句子似乎都经过千锤百炼，如同冷兵器上的锋刃，直击要害。我感觉作者似乎对人类历史的某些黑暗循环有着深刻的洞察力，并将这种洞察力融入到了故事的肌理之中。特别是对某种传统习俗或仪式化行为的描写，那种超越时代的重复感，让人不禁思考，我们今天所坚信的那些“真理”，在未来是否也会成为被嘲笑的古老迷信？这本书的深度在于，它不满足于讲述一个引人入胜的故事，它更试图去解构那些我们习以为常的社会构建，让你在阅读过程中，不断地进行自我审视和反思，是一种极其深刻的、带有批判性的阅读体验。
评分这部作品给我的震撼，简直难以用寻常的“阅读体验”来概括。它更像是一场深入灵魂的洗礼，或者说，是一次对既有世界观的彻底颠覆。作者的叙事手法极其高明，他似乎并不急于抛出所有的线索，而是像一位技艺精湛的织工，将无数细小的、看似不经意的日常片段，编织成一张错综复杂的情感之网。当我沉浸其中时，我发现自己不再是被动接受信息的读者，而更像是一个被迫卷入其中、试图拼凑真相的局外人。那些关于“牺牲”与“救赎”的探讨，并非空泛的哲学思辨，而是通过血肉之躯的描绘，让你不得不直面人性的幽暗与光辉。尤其是对社会结构中隐秘权力运作的刻画，细腻到令人毛骨悚然，那种感觉就像是，你忽然意识到你日常呼吸的空气，其实是被某种无形的力量精确调配过的。这种层层剥开的叙事节奏，尤其是在中后段，形成了一种强大的引力场，让人放下手中的一切，只为追寻那个最终的揭示，即使那个揭示本身，或许比未知更加沉重。
评分初读此书，我的第一印象是其语言的冷峻与精准，仿佛作者是一位手持手术刀的外科医生，剖析着人性最脆弱的部分，毫不留情，却又带着一种近乎宗教般的虔诚。这本书的魅力在于它的“留白”，它从不直接给出答案，而是用一系列充满象征意义的场景和对话，迫使读者主动去填补空白。我尤其欣赏作者对环境氛围的营造，那些潮湿、阴冷、弥漫着某种古老气息的场景描写，几乎让我能闻到纸张和尘土混合的味道。故事的主角们，没有一个是完美的，他们都背负着沉重的十字架，在各自的道德困境中挣扎。这种真实感，不是那种简单的好人或坏人的标签可以概括的，它探讨的是“灰色地带”的复杂性。读完后，合上书本，那种回味悠长的感觉，不是因为情节多么曲折，而是因为书中所触及的那些关于“选择的代价”和“信仰的本质”的问题，至今仍在我的脑海中回荡，久久不散。
评分坦白说，这本书的阅读难度不低，它不适合在通勤路上心不在焉地翻阅。你需要全神贯注，因为作者惯用倒叙和插叙的手法，不断地在时间线上跳跃，将不同时期的事件碎片抛给你。但正是这种挑战性，让最终拼图完成时的满足感倍增。我感觉自己像是在参与一场智力上的角力，与作者精心设计的迷宫周旋。更令人称奇的是，尽管题材宏大，涉及历史、宗教、权力等诸多元素，但作者始终没有失去对个体命运的关注。每一个小人物的悲剧，都被赋予了足够的重量和尊重。他们不是推动情节的工具，而是这个庞大体系下被碾压、却又试图反抗的鲜活生命。我特别喜欢其中对于“记忆如何被重塑”的探讨，那种叙事声音的不可靠性，让人时刻保持警惕，质疑自己所看到的一切是否是真实的表象。
