Kirtland Temple University?

Mormons often refer to the temple as the “University of the Lord.” In Doctrine and Covenants 88:119, it says the temple is to be a “house of learning, a house of faith.” Did you know that the original Kirtland Temple was envisioned to be more of as a real school than a temple? Dr. Mark Staker, an LDS Anthropologist at the Church History Library tells us more about the evolution of the Kirtland School into the Kirtland Temple. Check out the video below, the audio above, or you can get a transcript here or on Amazon!
