In the tradition of\u00a0Approaching Zion,<\/em>\u00a0this book represents Nibley at his best. It is loaded with stunning insights on the temple, trenchant social commentary and fascinating autobiographical details.<\/p>\n

One of the stunning aspects of Dr. Hugh Nibley’s genius was his persistent sense of wonder. That trait induced him to range widely through very disparate subjects of study \u2014 all covered in volume 17 ofThe Collected Works of Hugh Nibley on Himself, Others, and the Temple<\/em>. In this compilation of materials, most of which have been published previously outside the Collected Works volumes, Nibley explores the ancient Egyptians, the temple, the life sciences, world literature, ancient Judaism, and Joseph Smith and the Restoration. The contents of this volume illustrate the breadth of his interest through autobiographical sketches, interviews, book reviews, forewords to books, letters, memorial tributes, Sunday School lessons, and various writings about the temple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
