The article discusses the Adam-God doctrine developed by Mormon leader Brigham Young, noting its relation to Mormon teaching about polygamy. Topics include the portrayal of God in the Book of Mormon, the opinions of Mormon founder Joseph Smith regarding polygamy, and the notion that God has a physical body and is married. Also noted are Smith's notion of exaltation to divinity as addressed in his 1844 King Follett discourse, the concept of Celestial Marriage as plural marriage (polygamy), and the role of a dispute between Young and Mormon Apostle Orson Pratt in the division between mainstream Mormons and Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints (FLDS).
