A Plea for Polygamy: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - Paperback - 9781417975709

""A Plea for Polygamy: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"" is a book written anonymously that advocates for the practice of polygamy within the context of the Mormon faith. The author argues that polygamy was a divine commandment given by God to early prophets and that it is a necessary component of true Mormonism. The book provides historical and scriptural evidence to support this claim, and also addresses common objections to the practice of polygamy. Overall, ""A Plea for Polygamy"" is a controversial and thought-provoking exploration of a complex and deeply divisive issue within the Mormon community.This work first appeared under the title, The History and Philosophy of Marriage or Polygamy and Monogamy Compared. For obvious reasons the author has chosen to remain anonymous. Contents: Primary Laws of Marriage; Origin of Monogamy; Influence of Christianity; Monogamy Among Protestants; Monogamy a Breeder of Crime; Objections to Polygamy; and Sir Richard Burton on Polygamy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
