In this episode I reveal a brand new, unimaginable discovery! Material culture historian and expert John Hajicek shows and explains the incredible provenance of the the only known copy of the Palmyra 1830 first edition of the Book of Mormon that Joseph Smith personally owned…and made notes in! You won’t believe what he wrote related to polygamy in his own personal Book of Mormon! I will also discuss what Joseph gave us in the Book of Mormon related to the subject of polygamy: it’s universal condemnation of the practice, with no exception, and how old the commandment to have “only one wife” actually is. If you’re new to this discussion, remember we are looking ONLY at the source material related to Joseph and polygamy DURING his lifetime from 1827-1844. We will deal with all of the other polygamy sources and events related to Joseph Smith after we conclude this first series. This includes a full discussion of the “celestial marriage revelation” known as D&C 132 (I will clearly demonstrate that there is no credible tie to that document and Joseph Smith during his lifetime). I will address that subject in depth, as well as all of the claims that came decades after Joseph’s death in-depth. For now, enjoy the walk through the timeline of what occurred during Joseph’s life.
