RLP 342: Joseph Lee Robinson and the Book of Covenants

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss Joseph Lee Robinson and the Book of Covenants. Joseph Lee Robinson was Nicole's husband's 4th-great-grandfather, who joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1836. He wrote an autobiography in 1883, where he described his conversion and testimony.

The hosts explain the religious fervor in the United States during that time, known as the Second Great Awakening. They discuss Joseph's conversion experience, his brother Ebenezer's role in introducing him to the Church, and Joseph receiving a copy of the Book of Covenants. The podcast then explores the history of the Book of Covenants, its original name, and the process of its compilation and publication.

Listeners will learn about the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the significance of the Book of Covenants, and gain insights into the personal experiences of one of their early converts.
