Good overview and introduction.

John Lundquist has done some good work in the field of temple study and temple liturgy. This work, though well done, can best be seen as a good overview and introduction to temple liturgy and symbolism while not being boring. The included illustrations are well done.Mr. Lundquist gives an overview of temple liturgy and thought through a variety of cultures and religions. He covers common areas of thought and symbolism (the Tree of Life, Living Water, the Celestial Mount and ascent, the axis mundi, etc.). A good, and short, overview and introduction to temple thought and history.
