- Title
"FURTHER LIGHT PERTAINING TO CELESTIAL MARRIAGE": THE LAW OF PURITY AND TWENTIETH-CENTURY MORMON FUNDAMENTALIST DISCOURSE ON SEXUALITY.
- Authors
Rosetti, Cristina
- Abstract
The article discusses the history of the law purity within Mormon fundamentalism. Topics covered include the use of the work of philosopher Michel Foucault on the medical gaze to articulate the ways in which the prophetic acted within this framework, the incorporation of homeopathic language into the discourse by church leaders in the 20th century to expound on the teaching, and the ways in which medical and prophetic teachings on sexuality were intertwined by 20th century Mormon leaders.
