The Serpent and the Dove:: Messianic Mysteries of the Mormon Temple

Paul Toscano

4.9/5 (30391 ratings)

Description:The Mormon temple endowment is sacred to faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its members are forbidden by church leaders to reveal them or to discuss them, even within the sacred precincts of the temples themselves. Over the decades, this silence has resulted in misunderstandings regarding the ceremony, which is often now regarded as a reward for righteousness or as an elite status conferred on the church's most loyal members. This book reclaims the Mormon temple endowment as a Messianic sacrament. Its author is Paul Toscano, one of the September Six who were excommunicated from the LDS Church in 1993 for his criticism of church leaders for their subordination of Jesus Christ, their misunderstanding of the restored gospel, and their intolerant authoritarianism. In Part I: The Gods of the Temple, Toscano interprets the endowment as the final expression of Joseph Smith's innovative godhead teachings. In Part II: The Mysteries of Godliness, he provides a detailed analysis of the symbols of the ceremony. In Part III: The Holy Order of God, he lays out a blue print for LDS Church organization and administration consonant with the temple's revelation and conferral of Messianic priesthood on both men and women. This work s not an expose, but a plea for a new direction-a temple-centered Messianic Mormonism for the Third Millennium."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
