James Gall, 1808-1895, lived in Scotland and wrote this treatise in 1890 as part of a book entitled "The Synagogue, Not the Temple, the Germ and Model of the Christian Church." In "Templeism" he addresses five facets of Christian sacred men, sacred places, sacred things, sacred days, and sacred ceremonies. The tendency to venerate these things, and not Christ, is found in every corner of the church today---Catholic, Protestant, evangelical, and fundamentalist.
