Section 84: A Temple Revelation on Priesthood and Covenants

In this podcast episode, Professor Barbara Morgan Gardner shares her research on Doctrine and Covenants section 84, emphasizing the priesthood power of women. The section is clarified as a temple revelation, connecting the priesthood, the temple, and the endowment of power. The promises of God's oath and covenant mentioned in verses 33 to 40 apply to both men and women who receive temple blessings. President Russell M. Nelson's video interview with the general Relief Society president further affirms that the oath and covenant of the priesthood applies to women as well. Professor Gardner's research highlights the importance of understanding the priesthood power given to women, particularly through temple covenants.
