If there is a constant in the history of Latter-day Saint temple worship, it is change. Language used, covenants made, clothing worn and meaning ascribed to all of it — each has evolved since the early 1830s, when Joseph Smith introduced the idea of sacred rituals beyond baptism and confirmation.
In his newly published book, “<a href='https://global.oup.com/academic/product/holiness-to-the-lord-9780197799796?cc=us&lang=en&'>Holiness to the Lord: Latter-day Saint Temple Worship</a>,” historian Jonathan Stapley <a href='https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/10/24/new-books-lifts-veil-surrounding/'>explores those changes</a> in greater detail than any other work to date.
Those changes have not only practical but also theological implications, he argues, for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the past and the present.
