This Doctrine of the Priesthood issue presents Knut J. Knuteson’s study of claimed genetic and sociological consequences of polygamy, drawing on modern scientific studies and Latter-day Saint historical concerns. It is not a general introductory treatment of Celestial Marriage, but a focused study of biological and social questions connected with plural-marriage practice.
