Title: A Faithful Mormon's Take on Buerger's Book
Product review: There seem to be a lot of reviews questioning the validity of Buerger's sources, so I feel it needs to be said that Buerger is fairly objective in writing "The Mysteries of Godliness." I am a faithful Mormon and very much enjoyed reading the rich sources provided by Buerger. It is true that a lot of the sources are anti-Mormons, but in a lot of cases, this is because only disaffected Mormons would talk about certain things at that time. Anyhow, equal time is given to Church prophets as to disaffected members and dissenters.Buerger's only occasionally insensitive in regards to the spiritual worth of Temple ceremonies to the members of the Church. But, this is a history book, and so spiritual manifestations and comfort aren't things that Buerger can gauge without becoming more biased.Overall, I think this is a great book for those seeking to learn more about the history surrounding Latter-day Saint temple ceremonies.
