The Best LDS Treatment on Temples

Bryan, UT - February 12, 2009

This book is a veritable feast of knowledge. I love books about temples, ancient and modern. I read heavily at the feet of LDS and non-LDS scholars and their treatments of ancient temples; this book is in my top three. The articles are written by some of the LDS community's top scholars. Dr. Parry's article on the Garden of Eden is mind-blowing; Lundquist's treatise on temple preliminaries is a must-read; Nibley's article on the Sacred and the Symbolic is tremendous. Obviously you want agree with every author (the work is an Edited compilation); however, the book merits accalades and is a sound piece of faith and scholarship.
