2 – Brigham Young vs. 15 – Eugene England

Brigham was the second president of the Chuch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He brought the saints to Utah as the situation in Nauvoo deteriorated. He also broadened the practice of plural marriage and appears to have been quite the theological innovator.

Eugene England founded Dialogue and co-founded AML. He taught literature and writing at BYU for more than 20 years. We was well known for his outspoken stance against social ills that he saw in the society that surrounded him. He believed the future of Mormon literature was to be found in the personal essay, of which “Blessing the Chevrolet” is one of my favorites.

6 – Emma Hale Smith vs. 11 – Hugh Nibley

Emma Smith was: first wife of Joseph, subject of D&C 25, mentioned a few other times in the D&C, struggled with and eventually denied the revelation on plural marriage, first president of Relief Society, stayed in Nauvoo and eventually encouraged Joseph Smith III to participate in the founding of the RLDS (Community of Christ). A Mormon Enigma, read a brief biography here.

Hugh Nibley is a well-known Mormon scholar and social critic. He taught at BYU for over 40 years. Here is a page at FARMS collecting essays and biographies of Brother Nibley. Here is a page about his biography, featuring excerpts therefrom. I am quite the fan of his essay, “Zeal without Knowledge.”

3 – Physical Divine Beings vs. 14 – Dispensationalism

Physical Divine Beings has been a tenet since the First Vision, I suppose.

Dispensationalism appears important for understanding the greater history of the world in the LDS sense.

7 – Temple Covenants vs. 10 – Tithing and Consecration

Temple Covenants may just be the most important thing we do in life.

Tithing and Consecration appear to help us remember who gave us all that we have.

4 – The Pearl of Great Price vs. 13 – The Father and the Son

The Pearl of Great Price appears to be the leftover bits of scripture considered important, but unable to be squeezed into the other canonical books.

The Father and the Son is perhaps the clearest LDS discussion of the nature of Christ’s Divinity.

8 – The 2nd Official Declaration vs. 9 – The Proclamation on the Family

The 2nd Official Declaration extended the priesthood to all worthy males

The Proclamation on the Family established the standard working definition of the fundamental unit of the church and society.

1 – The Welfare Program vs. 16 – The Perpetual Education Fund

The Welfare Program is pure religion.

The Perpetual Education Fund is necessary as no-one can be saved in ignorance.

5 – Personal Food Storage vs. 12 – The Young Men’s Program

Personal Food Storage reminds us to keep the lamps full and the larder loaded.

The Young Men’s Program reminds us to help these bar-leapers become missionaries.
