In this article, the author looks at the specific ways the war in heaven narrative is used in LDS discourse to see how this narrative is shaped by its readers, how it comes to reflect those readers' anxieties and desires, and how it creates a community of believers tethered to cosmic history. The author focuses on the historical antecedents of the war in heaven and the origins and evolution of the narrative in Western religious traditions. He goes on to explore the development of the narrative in Mormon thought and its literal level of interpretation before finally discussing the moral messages pulled from the text. [From the article]
