Much More than a Plural Marriage Revelation

by Craig L. Foster

Overview

Abstract: Textual Studies of the Doctrine and Covenants: The Plural Marriage Revelation is a textual study of Section 132. It offers some interesting information as the author attempts to understand and place within context the revelation, which is, as the heading for this section in the scriptures reads, "relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant and the principle of plural marriage." The book has its strengths but is also hampered by some weaknesses, as discussed in this review.
