"The restoration of Elijah's keys and the associated temple ordinances have influenced the Church and people throughout the world as they now seek to join their families together. Joseph Smith's role in the restoration of temple and family history work laid the foundation for further developments to take place. The focus of this paper will first be on the prophecies and fulfillment of Elijah's mission in the latter days and the teachings of Joseph Smith regarding the redemption of the dead. Second, attention will be given to the effects of Elijah's coming on record keeping, family history, and temple work in the past two centuries." [From author's introduction]
