Summary

Right about now, we're probably all missing the temple. Never before has the need for the instant peace that comes from stepping into these sacred spaces been more keenly felt by so many members. But we can do more during this time than eagerly await the day when we can finally return to full temple worship. In this week’s bonus episode, we invite religious scholar Donald W. Parry to help us dig into the meaning behind temple symbols so that we can be ready to enter the Lord’s house with a new perspective and greater understanding.

0:00.0	I am so excited for today's bonus episode. You guys you're in for such a treat
0:04.7	because today our guest is religious scholar Donald Perry.
0:08.4	Now for those of you who listen to this podcast often you know that I quote him a lot and that's because in my
0:14.8	opinion he has truly paid the price to become a Hebrew expert and a master
0:19.6	scriptorian and recently he wrote a book titled 175 Temple Symbols and their

0:50.9	inappropriate.
0:52.3	This will be a very sacred space as we talk
0:54.2	about temple symbols, but it will all be within the correct context that we're
0:58.0	allowed to talk about temples and it will come from scripture and from
1:01.1	quotes from prophets and apostles and then from all of the work that
1:04.2	Don Perry has done to write this book. It's going to be really fun.
1:07.3	Welcome to the Sunday on Monday study group, a Deseret Bookshelf Plus
1:10.9	original brought to you by LDS Living.
1:13.0	Today's episode is going to be a little bit different because we only have one guest and this is our bonus episode.
1:18.0	So there won't be any segments.
