Shines the Celestial Temple was one of the canon Bajoran holy texts.
Raiq read Shines the Celestial Temple to study the Bajoran religion. Altek Dans read the tome in 2385. Kai Pralon Onala noticed that Altek almost directly quoted from Shines the Celestial Temple when he said he would not presume to know the minds of the Prophets. (DS9 novel: Ascendance)
