The ONLY Book on the Seal of Melchizedek, exploring its history, meanings, and mysteries. Includes the story of its modern rebirth through the story of the LDS San Diego Temple, but also a look at its uses anciently, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and in other religions and cultures. The symbol can mean "renewal" or "regeneration" but is even more powerful than that. This full color 6" x 9" soft-cover book has pictures and stories but also reveals into the layers of symbolism in this extraordinary 8-point star symbol known as the Seal of Melchizedek. It is a great gift to include with Seal of Melchizedek™ Jewelry and Art or as a reference guide for yourself. "An ancient symbol was suddenly used in the design of an entire LDS Temple. Renowned scholar Hugh Nibley later identified it as the "Seal of Melchizedek." Other scholars and bloggers started exploring the history and meanings of the symbol, which was later added to the Salt Lake City Temple. For the first time in one book, the modern story is uncovered. Learn why the Seal of Melchizedek is finding its way back in to contemporary Christian culture, and why Latter-day Saints in particular find it so interesting."
