CHAPTER

Evolving Narratives on Polygamy in the LDS Church

This chapter critically examines the recent changes in how the LDS Church presents teachings on polygamy, particularly focusing on revisions made to educational materials. It highlights the impact of language choices, notably the shift in framing from hardship to divine commandment, and discusses the implications for understanding gender roles and historical context. The conversation raises concerns about the potential misrepresentation of Joseph Smith's involvement and emphasizes the importance of age-appropriate discussions regarding consent in teaching children about complex topics like polygamy.
