Sinopsis

Author: Jessie L. Embry

 (PD)

An account that looks at both the similarities and differences with Mormonism-refuting common misconceptions, illuminating little-known practices, and exploring the theological underpinnings of the faith under study. Persons not of the LDS faith may be surprised to learn of doctrinal commonalities with the Latter-day Saints, while LDS readers will no doubt be fascinated by the degree to which they have misunderstood their brothers and sisters of other religious persuasions.

Reseña del editor

One of the most misunderstood aspects of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is its practice of plural marriage during the nineteenth century. In the twenty-first century members of the Church and those outside the faith have a hard time comprehending why early Latter-day Saints agreed to a marriage pattern so foreign to their traditional Victorian values. This book looks at the reasons they did so.
