Editor and BYU religion professor Alonzo L. Gaskill gathers a dozen temple-themed essays examining the House of the Lord's symbols, ordinances, and history. Topics range from the Salt Lake Temple's mysterious 'woman at the veil' statue and the origins of the angel Moroni, to sacred undergarments across world religions, the 'seal of Melchizedek,' grace in the endowment, and a compassionate reading of the temple through female eyes. Blending research and testimony, it invites endowed Latter-day Saints to see new layers of meaning in temple worship.

  • Unpacks the mystery of the Salt Lake Temple's 'woman at the veil'—and debunks the Virgin Mary myth
  • Reveals the surprising modern origins of the popular 'seal of Melchizedek' symbol
  • A compassionate, faith-affirming reading of the temple 'through female eyes'
  • Shows how the endowment testifies that we are saved by grace

Perfect for an endowed, temple-attending Latter-day Saint who loves gospel symbolism and wants deeper, research-based insight into temple ordinances and history.
