LATTER-DAY TEMPLES AS SYMBOLS: Richard O. Cowan, BYU article, July 2012

Temples are places where heaven meets earth. There we learn the higher ways of God and the Savior's role in our Father's eternal plan of happiness. Symbols are a way through which Heavenly Father can teach His mortal children about heavenly things. The symbols contained within the walls of the temple and the ones evident on the outside of each holy house can be instructive hints about our mission here on Earth. In this article, "Latter-Day Temples as Symbols", Richard Cowen, studies the different symbols contained on and in many temples, and points us to possibilities of what those sacred symbols can represent. This article was originally published in the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies at BYU in July of 2012.
