Wildlife & The Word of Wisdom
Episode 13:
Wildlife & The Word of Wisdom
Andrew Hedges
August 2020
The Latter-day Saint dietary revelation known as the Word of Wisdom is a well-known tenet of our faith. It teaches to abstain from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and tea. There is also, however, counsel on animal wildlife. We may think we understand what the Word of Wisdom is teaching here, but perhaps it鈥檚 worth a closer look. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Hedges shares his fascinating research contextualizing and applying the terms 鈥渇owls of the air鈥 and 鈥渨ild animals鈥 in the revelatory text.
