Blood Atonement and the Origin of Plural Marriage by Joseph Fielding Smith (1905)

During the first decade of the 20th century, following the Jackson County Temple Lot Suit, missionary activity in Utah by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was strong. In order to quell RLDS charges against the Utah Saints, the young, soon-to-be Apostle and Church Historian, Joseph Fielding Smith, maintained a dialog with the 2nd Counselor of the RLDS First Presidency, Richard C. Evans. This book is a compilation of the correspondence between the church leaders concerning certain points of doctrine as well as the right to lead the Church following the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. Other books published to refute RLDS claims to the right of succession during this period were THE ORIGIN OF THE "REORGANIZED" CHURCH (1909) by Joseph Fielding Smith, and A KEY TO SUCCESSION IN THE PRESIDENCY OF THE CHURCH (1909) by P. J. Sanders. 94pp. 978-1-930679-27-6 [-doctrine-]
