Gate of Heaven: Insights on Doctrines & Symbols of the Temple
A fascinating study of the temple and its symbolism from ancient to modern days. Brother Brown explains the rich heritage of external and internal temple symbolism throughout the ages. He also explores many of the compelling doctrines that are associated with temples. This book includes discussions on: Rituals and symbols associated with ancient temples and the earliest Christians (the most detailed presentation of such material to be found in the LDS market); Riveting spiritual experiences related to temple work; Making one's calling and election sure; Myths about the origin, symbols, and rituals of Freemasonry; Temple work during the Millennium. Representing more than a decade of intense research and documentation, The Gate of Heaven is destined to become a classic among Latter-day Saint works dealing with temples. Review Excerpt: "The Gate of Heaven offers insights into symbols and doctrines throughout the ages. ... Brown's book is full of surprises, including an illustration taken 'from early Christian catacomb painting that depicts a saint being introduced into paradise by the parting of a curtain'(189) Although The Gate of Heaven will probably be easier to understand for most Latter-day Saints, I would not call it any less 'scholarly' than The Temple in Time and Eternity. Both have the power and insight to inspire, motivate, and stir the soul not only to attend the temple more often but to better appreciate its blessings and ordinances." --Gary P. Gillum, excerpt from BYU Studies, vol. 39, no. 2, (2000) Matthew B. Brown has a degree in history from Brigham Young University. He is the author of Symbols in Stone: Symbolism on the Early Temples of the Restoration with Paul Thomas Smith; The Plan of Salvation: Doctrinal Notes and Commentary and Plates of Gold: The Book of Mormon Comes Forth.
