056- Barney, six key concepts

By: The Monk - March 3, 2006

Kevin Barney, “Examining Six Key Concepts in Joseph Smith’s Understanding of Genesis 1:1″ BYUS 39:3 (2000): 107-124.

  • Highly recommended. Discusses 1) creation as organization from extant matter (ie. not creation ex nihilo), 2) a plurality of divine beings, 3) a supreme God at the head, 4) premortal council in heaven, 5) a god appointed over this world, and 6) persistant plurality throughout Israelite history.
