Joseph Smith鈥檚 Growing Understanding of the Eternal Family
Episode 24:
Joseph Smith鈥檚 Growing Understanding of the Eternal Family
Devan Jensen & Michael Goodman
January 2021
We can sometimes think that Joseph Smith鈥檚 understanding of key Restoration doctrines came fully formed from the start. But the reality is that many concepts were revealed more slowly, here a little and there a little. Beginning with the tragic death of Joseph鈥檚 brother Alvin up through temple ordinances in Nauvoo, BYU religion鈥檚 Michael Goodman and Devan Jensen discuss how the Prophet grew in his understanding of doctrines related to the eternal family, and how God works with all of us line upon line.
