Anderson Religious Education Master of Religious Education This thesis answers the question of how a vision recorded in Joseph Smith’s journal found its home in the Doctrine and Covenants and become recognized as canonized scripture. The April 3, 1836, journal entry became known as Section 110. Section 110 serves as a foundation for the current practices and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, involving temple building and temple ordinances. Thus it is important to understand the history of this Section from journal entry to canonization because it is an example of recovering revelation.

  • A New American Esoteric Discourse: Mormon Esotericism
    A New American Esoteric Discourse: Mormon Esotericism John Caleb Wise The popular dialogue of revisionist history in America has marginalized and ignored Western esotericism in the early American religious identity, and schol- ars of American religions have only just begun to uncover the esoteric influence in America’s history. For this essay, I define esotericism as alternative religious or philosophical discourses that seek transformation of the individual; these dis- courses are often supplemented by initiation, a magical cosmology, ritual practice, and a goal of gnosis. Using this definition, my study analyzes esotericism in early Mormonism. While promulgating a detailed historical exegesis of Joseph Smith, Jr.’s encounters with esoteric thought, I utilize the theories of Kocku Von Stuckrad and Jorge N. Ferrer to interpret the formation of Mormonism. Stuckrad’s theory of discourses forms a model of collective esoteric dialogue that is relevant to the for- mation of early Mormonism. The Western esoteric influences upon the Mormon prophet’s worldview resulted from the intersection of multiple religious discourses. These interactions with esoteric discourse are evident through the historical con- text of Smith’s life and through the revelation of texts that he formed into Mormon scripture. Though Stuckrad’s theory of religious discourse forms a working model for the evidence of esotericism’s influence on Joseph Smith, it does not shed light on why Mormonism was so successful in early America. Jorge Ferrer’s participatory enaction theory illuminates the success of the development of esoteric Mormon thought. The legacy of Joseph Smith was not only a result of his interaction with Western esotericism but also a product of participatory enaction through prophetic revelation.

  • Tom Phillips Second Anointing
    MY SECOND ANOINTING EXPERIENCE TOM PHILLIPS JANUARY 21, 2008 There already exist sources of details of the second anointing and I probably will not add to that body of knowledge. However, I am posting this account to confirm the ordinance does actually take place currently, as I have received the ordinance, and how it is currently performed. I state the names of the Apostle and Seventy involved as well as the date and actual temple so that the credibility cannot be questioned. CONTENTS INVITATION PREPARATION – THE DAY ITSELF – WHAT HAPPENED AT THE TEMPLE FEELINGS AFTERWARDS NOMINATING OTHERS FOR THE ORDINANCE AFTERMATH Reformatted Colorized Version December 30, 2013 Page | 2 INVITATION In April 2002 Elder Harold G. Hillam of the First Quorum of Seventy, as President of the Europe West Area, called me into his office. He said he was extending to me and my wife (she was not present), on behalf of President Hinckley, an invitation to receive a “special blessing” in the Preston England Temple. He asked whether I had heard of the “second endowment” to which I replied no. I later told him that I had heard of it, but was so stunned by his invitation my mind went blank regarding the matter. He told me very few people receive this blessing and it must be kept secret. He said if the general membership knew about it there would be problems. More would want to receive the ordinance than the apostles have time to accommodate and members would wonder why so and so had received it but they had not.

  • Index for Journals, Volumes 1–3
    Index for Journals, Volumes 1–3 In addition to the journals themselves, introductory essays, annotation, and most refer- ence materials have been indexed. Most maps are not indexed; map coordinates for specific locations are given in the Geographical Directory. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of quotations have been standardized. Personal names are listed by their correct spellings, not by variant spellings that may be found in the journals, unless correct spelling is unknown. Entries for women are generally listed under their final married names, with appropriate cross-references under maiden names or earlier married names. Unidentified individuals, such as “Mr. Brown,” are included in the index. In subentry text, Joseph Smith (JS) and Emma Smith (ES) are referred to by their initials. Because JS is the implied subject of the index, the entry for his name does not report all JS-related events in the volumes. Rather, it records important events and highlights. When found in an entry, “id.” generally indicates an entry in the Biographical Directory or Geographical Directory, “def.” usually refers to a definition in the Glossary, and “hand- writing of” identifies ranges of pages on which an individual inscribed text in the journals. Other documents recorded in the journals, such as letters or revelations, are identified under the Journal entry. A of, 1:231, 1:271, 1:274, 1:275, 1:284n184; JS travels Aaronic priesthood.

  • “Shake Off the Dust of Thy Feet”: the Rise and Fall of Mormon Ritual
    “Shake Off the Dust of Thy Feet”: TheRiseandFallof Mormon Ritual Cursing Samuel R. Weber1 Introduction In July 1830, just three months after the formal organization of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith dictated a revelation that promised, “in whatsoever place ye shall enter in & they receive you not in my name ye shall leave a cursing instead of a blessing by casting off the dust of your feet against them as a testimony & cleansing your feet by the wayside.”2 Subsequently, the historical record is replete with examples of ritual cursing being performed up through the 1890s. While many of Smith’s revelations and doc- trinal innovations continue to be practiced by the LDS Church to- day, cursing has fallen into disuse. Despite this ritual’s unique sta- tus as an act of formally calling down God’s wrath upon others, it has received surprisingly little attention in scholarly studies.3 The first objective of this paper is to examine ritual cursing within Mormonism: how ritual cursing began, who performed curses, who was cursed, and how the ritual was performed. Factors that contributed to an environment conducive to ritual cursing will also be explored. Cursing arose during a period of bold inno- vation within Mormonism, as founding prophet Joseph Smith un- veiled a seemingly endless stream of new doctrines and practices. Although ritual cursing may be appropriately described as new to the religious world in which Mormonism was born, it had ancient roots. Ritual cursing was an expression of Christian primitivism among Mormons, an attempt to recapture an ancient biblical rite that had been lost over time.
