While at first glance LDS teachings might appear to grant an exaltation to women that is comparable to that granted to men, a closer look raises some difficult questions. Theologians sometimes make a distinction between salvation "from" (what is it that we are rescued or delivered from?) and salvation "for" (what is the end purpose of salvation? where is it taking us?) I would like to spend some time on both of these, looking at them in the context of gender issues. I will first discuss the LDS view of the fall, and the meaning of redemption from the fall, and then go on to examine the LDS notion of exaltation. [Author's abstract]
