By using close reading of multiple texts, Butler builds a compelling narrative of eternal proportions. Two factions of priests struggle for control over holy rites at the temple in Jerusalem, and the conservative, power brokers succeed in expelling the visionary, spiritualists--casting them out. Although news to me, this defeat is not without prior documentation. I was very interested to see the close tex Dan Brown, move over! He also uses his knowledge of Hebrew, Judaism, and ancient cultures to bring to life this conflict and the vital principles of temple ordinances that have been diluted and lost over time.
The vanquished mysteries of God did manage to leave a trail for those who have eyes to see. The phrase "plain and precious things" from the Book of Mormon hints at this loss, and Butler takes that phrase and elaborates it in book-length form. He takes a complex argument and breaks it down into manageable bits.
Pick up your textual magnifying glass, pipe and deestalker so you can enjoy the thrill of the chase through history, language and theology. Nov 15, Shawna rated it really liked it Shelves: I really liked this book.
It gave unique insights into the Book of Mormon that weren't just a rehashing of things I had read before. I had been curious about the Deuteronomic reformers, and this gave me a lot more to think about that I had found anywhere else.
