Symbols in Stone: Symbolism on Early Temples of the Restoration
LDS doctrine is rich in symbolism, and nowhere do we find greater symbolism than in the temple. By examining the symbols on the Nauvoo, Kirtland, and Salt Lake temples, the authors skillfully demonstrate that "we begin to understand the symbolic language of the Lord which, in turn, prepared us for the symbolism that we will encounter within." This work is carefully documented using the scriptures as well as recorded accounts of latter-day temples seen in vision before their construction. It is essential reading for all Latter-day Saints who want to better understand the vital role of temples in the latter-days. The 2nd edition has three new appendices. One on the identification of the Nauvoo Temple weathervane angel; one on the date April 6th; one on the inverted five-pointed stars. A review of the first edition of this book by Vic Werlhof may be found here: Matthew B. Brown has a degree in history from Brigham Young University. He is the author of The Gate of Heaten: Insights on the Doctrines and Symbols of the Temples; The Plan of Salvation: Doctrinal Notes and Commentary and Plates of Gold: The Book of Mormon Comes Forth.
