Teaching the Word: Religious Education at Brigham Young University

Richard O. Cowan

In 1847, Brigham Young prophesied that in the process of time, the shores of the Pacific may yet be overlooked from the Temple of the Lord. In the 1920s, Elder George Albert Smith had a vision that a temple on the East Bay hills would be a beacon to the whole area. When President David O. McKay announced that the Oakland Temple would be built, he declared, We feel that the time has come when these prophecies should be fulfilled. During the dedication service, then Elder Gordon B. Hinckley stated: This temple is not only a thing of beauty and of joy to those who see it. It is a living expression of a testimony.
 This book tells the story of the temple from early prophecy to construction and dedication and through its jubilee. The story is enhanced with beautiful and historic images, including many color photographs.

The ancient Hebrews did not believe that the temple concept originated in the time of Moses. Rather, they taught that temple rituals and doctrines originated with Adam and were handed down among the biblical patriarchs. This is precisely what the Prophet Joseph Smith tried to teach the world during the 1800s, that the gospel of Jesus Christ is eternal and has been on the earth since the beginning. This is the second volume of the Temple on Mount Zion series published by the Interpreter Foundation and Eborn Books. The purpose of the series is to increase understanding and appreciation of temple rituals and doctrines, and to encourage participation in the redeeming work of family history and temple worship. Volume One in the series is called ANCIENT TEMPLE WORSHIP.

President David O. McKay was intimately involved with the planning and construction of the Los Angeles Temple, the largest temple that the Church has ever built. Its operation reflects some of the challenges the Church faced in the changing cultural climate of Southern California. This volume is a comprehensive history of the beloved Los Angeles Temple. The text is illustrated with more than a hundred photographs of the construction, groundbreaking, installation of the angel Moroni, and cornerstone ceremony--many of which have not been previously published.
