A Plea for Polygamy: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

""A Plea for Polygamy: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"" is a book written anonymously that explores the controversial topic of polygamy in the context of the Mormon religion. The author argues that polygamy is not only acceptable but necessary for the salvation of the faithful. The book provides a historical and theological analysis of the practice of polygamy within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and defends it against criticisms from both within and outside the Church. The author also addresses common misconceptions about polygamy and offers a defense of the practice based on scripture and personal experience. This book is a thought-provoking and challenging exploration of a topic that is often misunderstood and controversial.This work first appeared under the title, The History and Philosophy of Marriage or Polygamy and Monogamy Compared.
