In part 2, Anne discusses the rise of Mormon Fundamentalism after the LDS Church decided to stop teaching plural marriage as an official church doctrine. She also discusses the schism within Mormon Fundamentalism, resulting in the various sects that exist today, in the 21st century.

    Enjoyed listening to this…
    I think the book she mentioned by Ogden Kraut, “Jesus was Married” was the one I read years and years ago at BYU (1981, 1982?). Since I read the book I’ve always believed in the possibility that he was married. The book made some very good points. I wonder if it’s still available??

    I’m sure that Anne could get you a copy.

    Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll get you in contact w/ her.

    Thanks John, but I found it on the net…did you know you can get it for anywhere from $6 to $125 (for a 1st ed.)? Or, you can read it here.
    It is the one I remembered. Cool stuff.
