Philip Church's book appears to be available now with Brill:
Philip Church. Hebrews and the Temple: Attitudes to the Temple in Second Temple Judaism and in Hebrews.
Abstract:
"In Hebrews and the Temple
Philip Church argues that the silence of Hebrews concerning the temple
does not mean that the author is not interested in the temple. He writes
to encourage his readers to abandon their preoccupation with it and to
follow Jesus to their eschatological goal. Following extensive
discussions of attitudes to the temple in the literature of Second
Temple Judaism, Church turns to Hebrews and argues that the temple is
presented there as a symbolic foreshadowing of the eschatological
dwelling of God with his people. Now that the eschatological moment has
arrived with the exaltation of Christ to the right hand of God,
preoccupation with the temple and its rituals must cease."
