Joseph Smith’s July 12, 1843, revelation on plural marriage was the last of his formal written revelations and a transformational moment in Mormonism. While acting today as the basis for the doctrine of eternal nuclear families, the revelation came forth during a period of theological expansion as Smith was in the midst of introducing new temple rituals, radical doctrines on God and humanity, a restructured priesthood and ecclesiastical hierarchy, and, of course, the practice of plural marriage.

In this volume, author William V. Smith examines the text of this complicated and rough revelation to explore the motivation for its existe

Textual Studies of the Doctrine and Covenants: The Plural Marriage Revelation (Contemporary Studies in Scripture) by William V. Smith Book Review

Name: RickE
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: The doctrines of the LDS Priesthood
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018
Review: In many ways, this book on the Plural Marriage Revelation is a logical sequel to the analysis of the early priesthood revelations that the author provided in his lengthy Dialogue Journal article. Both draw heavily on the latest work of the Joseph Smith Papers project and the extensive materials available at the BOAP project to show how the definition and practice of Priesthood in the LDS Church evolved from the early 1830s to the Nauvoo era — and how they further morphed into what is common in the current Church.

Some important concepts I came to understand through a study of these materials include the following:
• What the term Priest-hood originally meant to Joseph Smith and his associates.
• How the High Priesthood was different from the Melchizedek priesthood.
• Why Joseph originally gave priority to High Priests, and why the role of Apostles has now taken the spotlight.
• How Joseph hoped that his role as Seer/Priest could be separated from the administrative office of Church President.
• Why Joseph intended that the various temple ordinances should be understood in their relation to each other, all leading to a last great and irrevocable Sealing.
• How Smith understood the function of the Holy Spirit of Promise.
• How the stern language toward Emma in the Revelation should be understood in context.

As an independent scholar of Joseph Smith’s writings and speeches, William Victor Smith is unsurpassed. I highly recommend this book and its prequel to any serious students of Mormonism and the doctrines of the Priesthood.

Title: I would love to see a future revision…
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018
Review: I had read someone else’s review and bought this myself to ensure that I wasn’t being too harsh in comments I made based on that review. In particular, Professor Smith completely ignores the impact of the illicit intercourse heresy, which is well-documented in letters and newspaper articles in the 1842 timeframe. Professor Smith posits hypotheses, but I find he has cherry-picked his “examples,” as my own research has uncovered numerous situations that don’t align with Professor Smith’s hypotheses. I’m not sure if this is because Professor Smith is aware of the larger body of documentation and chose examples that fit his hypotheses or if he simply isn’t particularly versed in the documentation and allowed his hypotheses to be overly informed by the partial set of documentation at his disposal.

A valuable point is that this revelation is unique, as it is highly controversial, yet was never “edited for publication” by Joseph Smith. I appreciate the information that several verses were specific to particular people at a particular moment in time, and likely should never have been canonized. But because of the insufficient breadth of the documentation evident in the rest of the book, I’m not sure I am persuaded by Professor Smith’s attempt to achieve a “what it would have looked like had D&C 132 been edited for publication” version.

Title: A brilliant look at the plural marriage revelation
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018
Review: William Victor Smith’s The Plural Marriage Revelation offers a fresh look on a topic that so many of us fear and/or are sickened to consider. This book, a part of Greg Kofford Books’ Contemporary Studies in Scripture is fundamental footing to understand the background of the revelation and structure in which the section of the Doctrine and Covenants was developed — indeed, I think it should be necessary reading for all church scholars — both amateur and professional. I approached the book with gloved hands; I read at an impersonal level as a matter of historicity. However, by the conclusion of the first chapter of the book, I found myself amazed at how much this revelation truly impacts me today as a temple-attending Mormon, as a Mormon woman, and as a mother.

As much as the books discusses the plural marriage revelation (Section 132), WSmith’s meticulous research causes him to consider the historiography of the concept and practice of “sealings.” Familial “sealings,” either by marriage or adoption was one of the primary purposes of plural marriage — and early temple work:

“… a relatively robust practice developed of sealing men to other men as father and son, without a biologically relationship. Called “adoption,” it served two salvific purposes with a background based in Malachi 4:6: “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Smith had redefined “turn” as “seal” in sermons, and the curse of an impending second coming of Jesus and the “smite the earth with a curse” combined to place a sense of urgency in the binding together of the Saints” (pg 209)

The concept of sealings encapsulated polygamy, and thus was as profound in the text as was the discussion of plural marriage. I found it fascinating to read the background of this particular revelation in context with the personal struggles of Joseph Smith, Jr, (JSmith) and his (first) wife Emma. WSmith dedicates an entire chapter to Emma (chapter 8, a look at verses 51–57), and though I was tempted to read this chapter first, reading the book in sequentially rewarded me with a rounded view of Emma’s situation in context with her husband’s developing theology around sealings and marriage. In this, the volatility of their marriage was combined with discussion of Victorian sensibilities (which added financial as much as sexual tension to the situation), as well as contextual journals and writings of the time which offered both insight and contradiction in regard to the seemingly always-problematic revelation.

The book is written chronologically by theme, treating the sections of information and revelation in the order that the scriptural verses are recorded. This format allows the subject and subsequent revelations to be landscaped in a manner that reveals the construction of what is current cannon in the church. It is refreshing to read the empathetic tones of the author, WSmith’s, as he relates his perspective that this revelation in its many adaptations and forms (all which are detailed in the text), was likely not meant for public consumption. Rather, his view is that this section of scripture is a personal letter to Emma.

I was captivated in reading of the fluidity in which this and other revelations came into play, as well as the changes therein, such as: the change from women as eternal (next life) child bearers, to being child-bearers primarily here and now. This and the concept of a Heavenly Mother who has the same gestational childbirth cycle as earthly women, giving reason or excuse for multiple mothers. Indeed, fertility is an ongoing concept — one that JSmith seemed to view with an eye to raising generations and tracing them back to himself, or perhaps even Adam. (page 99 and 115) This alone raises the kind of historical problems that Mormon women seem more likely to consider: adoption, infertility, and eternal marriage.

In the end, I could not help but consider how much or how little Joseph Smith sought the revelation for himself, or if it was ever intended as a church-wide practice. JSmith’s perspectives on the biblical, including Sarah, Hagar and Abraham, as well as Bathsheba, Uriah and David receive strong consideration in addition to the journals (William Clayton, among others), past versions of the developing revelation and numerous other sources.

I strongly recommend this as a resource for women. We all know that Emma inspired the revelation on the word of wisdom. We also know that Eliza R. Snow’s literary concept of a Heavenly Mother brought Her revelation to Mormonism (page 98). Thus, we know that women have historically encouraged revelation and created dogmatic change within the church when there were problems and unanswered chasms. Therefore, because there is an ongoing question (crisis?) in regard to polygamy with its many theological layers, I believe it is best that we come to understand its development, history, contextual history and relative theories. In doing this, we can be best seek and encourage further intellectual and spiritual revelations in creating a superior sealing doctrine — one that I would hope does not offend or degrade women.
