The complete title of this talk is “Joseph Smith’s Sexual Polyandry and the Emperor’s New Clothes: On Closer Inspection, What Do We Find?”
Brian C. Hales is a member of the Church and is the author of a book on Mormon Fundamentalism and several other books. He has presented at the Mormon History Association, Sunstone and elsewhere. He is an anesthesiologist at the David Hospital and Medical Center in Layton, Utah. He is writing a new two-volume treatise on Joseph Smith’s polygamy.
Hales’ presentation was excellent but this subject is very difficult to address in a blog post. Those interested in this subject are encouraged to read Hales’ books on the subject.
