Embracing the Law: Reading Doctrine and Covenants 42
Neal A. Maxwell Institute, 2017. First printing. Paperback. 140pp. According to Joseph Smith, Doctrine and Covenants 42 "embraces the law of the church." In this collection of essays, six scholars probe the significance of this revelation, especially the significance of its status as "law." In what ways is D&C 42-especially the law of consecration-binding for Latter-day Saints today? These wide-ranging essays argue that the law remains in force, but in many different ways. Essays include "'I Will Give unto You My Law': Section 42 as a Legal Text and the Paradoxes of Divine Law," "'That My Covenant People May Be Gathered in One': The Law of Section 42 of the Doctrine and Covenants," and "Remnants of Revelation: On the Canonical Reading of Doctrine and Covenants 42."
