Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Foreword -- INTRODUCTION -- 1. The Embracing Cherubim -- 2. The Wisdom Mystery -- 3. Christian Wisdom and the Marriage Mystery -- 4. The Great Mystery and the Preexistent Church -- 5. The Post-New Testament Wisdom Mystery -- 6. Gnosticism and the Wisdom Mystery -- 7. The Great Mystery in the Middle Ages -- 8. Summary and Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: In this thoroughly provocative book, the late Eugene Seaich makes a detailed study of the intractable mystery of the Jerusalem temple. Using historical sources and ingenious detective work, Seaich suggests that the cherubim in Solomon’s temple were portrayed in a copulatory embrace. Aware that this thesis is not entirely novel, the author builds a substantial case in its favor and traces the influence of the atonement (at-one-ment) theology behind the concept through Israel’s wisdom school, New Testament and Gnostic sources, up through the Middle Ages.
