This book is the work of two distinguished BYU scholars from different academic backgrounds who have combined their talents to revisit the meaning of Solomon’s Temple and what was taught there. The authors propose a reconstruction of the Israelite temple drama based on the work of many Bible scholars, the teachings of the Book of Mormon and New Testament, and a rearrangement of the Psalms so that not just the story told in the drama but also the testimony of the Savior become remarkably clear.

The Psalms were originally the text of the ancient Israelite temple services. Their poetry was woven into a magnificent eight day pageant-like temple drama that depicted the full eternal sweep of the Savior’s mission and his Atonement. The principles taught in the drama were accurately preserved on the brass plates and taught by Nephite prophets throughout the Book of Mormon.

Now, using the New Testament, with the Book of Mormon and modern revelation as keys, the authors of this book have sought to reconstruct the original order of the Psalms and uncover the story they once told.
