Here's the history and links:

Paul Helm reviewed Peter Enns's book, Inspiration and Incarnation.
Enns responded.
Now Helm responds in kind.

And for those who might be interested, here's a recap of the exchanges between Enns and Greg Beale over this book:

Riddlebarger's Amil Conference

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 11:45:05 GMT

Last night at Dr. Riddlebarger's Amil Conference I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Beale give an overview of that which he has written about in The Temple and the Church's Mission. In this comprehensive study, G.K. Beale argues that the Old Testament tabernacle and temples were symbolically designed to point to the end-time reality that God's presence, formerly limited to the Holy of Holies, would be extended throughout the cosmos. He proved from Scripture how that the Garden was the first Temple and Adam the first priest. If you have never heard of such I suggest you read this book before you react negatively. He then equated the Noah's ark with such temple imagery and continued through the Bible. Beal's stimulating exposition traces the theme of the tabernacle and temple across the Bible's story line, illuminating many texts and closely related themes along the way. Ultimately, Christ's incarnated body became the temple of God and "what? know ye not that your body" is now the temple of God? Yes, this lecture was not only incredible informative from a theological and Scriptural sense, but also the applications of this lecture were some of the most humbling and convicting truths that I have heard in years. Finally, Dr. Beale demonstrated how John's vision in Revelation 21 is best understood as picturing the new heavens and earth as the eschatological temple.
