Title: Setting the Record Straight: Mormons & Polygamy

Author: Jessie L. Embry

Client: Millennial Press

Date of Work: August 2012

Available for purchase at: ldsebookstore.com
or on Amazon

About the Book:

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 had 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.

In addition, it answers some of the common questions about Mormons and polygamy. How long did the practice continue? How many wives did Mormons have? Did all Mormon men marry multiple wives? How did men, women, and children feel about the practice? Scholar and historian Jessie L. Embry examines the answers to these and other questions.

Blacks & the Mormon Priesthood ebook

Title: Setting the Record Straight: Blacks & the Mormon Priesthood

Author: Marcus H. Martins

Client: Millennial Press

Date of Work: August 2012

Available for purchase at: ldsebookstore.com
or on Amazon

About the Book:

For over a century The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prohibited the ordination of men who had Black African ancestry to offices in its priesthood. This "priesthood ban" was lifted in 1978 to the delight of most Church members, but puzzling questions and folklore surrounding the origin and reasons for the ban have lingered in Mormon popular culture.

In a deeply doctrinal discussion of this controversial subject in Mormon history, Professor Marcus H. Martins shares personal reflections based on his experiences as a Black member of the Church who lived through the final years of the ban.

His analysis debunks old myths and folklore, and it introduces a gospel-based framework for racial and cultural relations in contemporary societies.
