Renowned scholar Hugh Nibley presents a fascinating work written in two distinct yet related sections. In Temple Nibley discusses the meaning of the temple, the history and origin of ordinances and sacred vestments, and the temple's necessity in the Lord's work today.
In Cosmos Nibley explores man's place in the cosmos, or the expanse of Heavenly Father's kingdom, and how the temple fits into this divine realm of existence. he also writes about the importance and significance of language and writing in a chapter entitled "Genesis of the Written Word."
