LDS Temples and 'Ancient Wisdom'

In ancient Christianity various “esoteric mysteries” were taught. Evidence exists that these “mysteries” were temple ordinances that were practiced and performed for both the living and the dead, notably Baptism for the Dead, the Endowment and Marriage for Eternity. It is hoped that a sense of the beauty and majesty of these ordinances and the principles they symbolize will enlighten the soul and distill the mysteries of the kingdom through the ‘Ancient Wisdom’ it represents.

Here is a fabulous podcast series of 10 Episodes titled, Church History Matters: Temple Worship by Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths, both managing directors at Scripture Central. Here is Episode 1: The Beginnings of LDS Temple Worship through their YouTube channel, Doctrine and Covenants Central. The other episodes are listed below with links to the podcasts. These are an excellent series with lots of great nuggets throughout and are very much worth the time to listen.
