Ep 78 – CC Polygamy Pt1 - (Naked Mormonism Podcast) Podcast Details

Description

On this episode, we finally dive into polygamy. We're ramping up for polygamy in Nauvoo prior to April 1841, but before doing so we have to set the historical stage to understand the world from which Mormon polygamy evolved. We begin with marriage from the dawn of historical time and skim across the top of major world religions throughout most of written history to finally arrive at the post-enlightenment western world filled with small groups of free-love proto-hippies. This is part 1 of a multi-part series on Mormon polygamy.
