Steve Walton on James in Acts 15 interpreting the Tabernacle of David of Amos 9 as a Reference to a Temple

  

But Luke’s presentation [of the Temple in Acts] is not so explicit or clear-cut as the way in which other NT writers use ‘temple’ language for the Christian community, even if it is accepted that James’s quotation from Amos 9:11-12 in Acts 15:16-17 hints in this direction. (Steve Walton, Reading Acts Theologically [Library of New Testament Studies 661; London: T&T Clark, 2022], 87)

Notice how Walton agrees that James interprets Amos 9:11-12 and the "Tabernacle of David" as a reference to a temple. On the importance of this for the Book of Mormon, see:
