In The Serpent and The Dove, Paul Toscano reclaims the Mormon temple endowment as a Messianic sacrament. In Part I: The Gods of the Temple, Toscano interprets the endowment as the final expression of Joseph Smith's innovative godhead teachings. In Part II: The Mysteries of Godliness, he provides a detailed analysis of the symbols of the ceremony.
