This is a great article and one of the must-reads. The references are great and the appendix at the end is very useful for the Mormon Studies researcher. My only criticism is his treatment of "oath-bound" organizations. There is one critical mistake in there, but Kimaball does trace it back to the trade unions of the era, which is an important development. He doesn't treat the Women's oath-bound organizations at all. I don’t know how I missed this when you posted. This is a great article and one of the must-reads.

I have always found it a mystery how culture has such an influence on our interpretation of God's laws. It is like for us humans cultural charecteristics have more of an effect on what we think salvation is rather that our ability to see it how it truly is cutting cultural influence totally out. It is almost as if culture has more to do with carnality than godliness! Very interesting topic indeed.
