C. Mark Hamilton's The Salt Lake Temple: A Monument to a People, published by University Services in Salt Lake City in 1983, is a scholarly architectural and historical study of the temple's design, construction and symbolism as an expression of Latter-day Saint identity. Hamilton is an architectural historian who has written extensively on LDS temple architecture specifically. Its strength is that it treats the building as a documented historical and architectural subject rather than only as a devotional site. Its limit is that it is a study of one temple's specific history, published nearly two decades before the temple's most recent renovations, so a claim about the building's current condition or recent changes needs a more recent source.
