I just received an email from Dr. William Hamblin who is currently studying at a seminar in Oxford, England, and he said he had the unique opportunity to have a lunch today with Methodist scholar Margaret Barker about her intriguing and in-depth research into temple studies.  Barker graciously permitted him to film the conversation, and he has nearly two hours of tape.  Since YouTube has a 10 minute limit on length, he is going to post these piecemeal over the next few days.  This looks quite fascinating and enlightening, and I will post the next parts here on TempleStudy.com as soon as Bill publishes them.  Dr. Hamblin also blogs at Things Unutterable.

An interesting side-note by Dr. Hamblin about this conversation:

We ate at the “Eagle and Child” pub in Oxford, where the Inklings (C S Lewis, Tolkein, etc.) used to meet.
