Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a transcript of a speech in defence of plural marriage and the Mormon church in America. Given by the author as a delegate to the US House of Representatives, it is a compelling argument for religious freedom and a fascinating record of the persecution faced by the Mormons in the 19th century. The author, entering the debate in the wake of a proposed bill criminalising polygamy, provides a detailed, verse by verse analysis of The Old Testament, showing the reader that The Bible condones polygamyâ"and even commands it in some casesâ"and arguing that it is a practice sanctioned by the church from its inception. He also refers to the historical persecutions suffered by the Mormon people, including a violent expulsion from their homes, and multiple murders. The author's passionate plea resulted in polygamy remaining legal for some considerable time and this book will be of interest not only to those interested in the Mormon church, but also in the history of the American west and the development of religious freedom in the United States.
