<jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>As a production of space, the Jerusalem temple has multiple dimensions which render a rich material and ideational locale. The paper links interpretation of the Jerusalem temple in Mark's Gospel to a growing interest in spatial theory and narrative spatiality which resists reducing space to either background staging or the realm of ideas. Such theory calls for a genuinely spatialized reading, rather than a privileging of temporality which marginalizes readings for space.</jats:p>
