The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been the subject of criticism since it was founded by American religious leader Joseph Smith in 1830. Historically, no issue caused greater criticism of the church than its practice of plural marriage, which it publicly abandoned in 1890. Since then, criticisms have focused on arguments of historical revisionism, homophobia, racism, sexist policies, and inadequate financial disclosure. Explore these issues for yourself in this useful edition by Joseph M. Watley, an avid scholar and theologian.
