Ep. 42: LDS scholar: We get this WRONG about ancient temples

from Keystone · host Keystone

How ancient are "modern" LDS temples, really? Is it worrisome that we find Masonry in our own ordinances? What is at the heart of temple worship? Ben Spackman is back and he's here to set the record straight! Ben Spackman is a Latter-day Saint Bible scholar. He’s got a bachelor’s in Near Eastern studies, a Master's in Near Eastern languages and civilizations, and a PhD in the history of Christianity. Latter-day Saints around the world are studying the Old Testament in 2026, and in this episode we’re going to be talking about ancient temples versus modern temples: what we get right when we compare them, what we get wrong, and what we may be misunderstanding.
