Temple worship in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly called the Mormon Church, is kept virtually secret from outsiders. And even Mormons themselves might find certain aspects of worship confusing. Holiness to the Lord offers a comprehensive overview of Mormon temple worship. This deep dive into Mormon history, cosmology, and ritual provides an insightful analysis of contemporary Mormonism.
