Dr. Jonathan Stapley tackles a tough topic: race & LDS Temples as we conclude his deep dive into Stapley's award-winning book, Holiness to the Lord. We tackles some of the most complex historical topics surrounding Latter-day Saint temple worship, including the ideological shift away from plural marriage, the history of racial restrictions, and the profound religious work of caring for the dead. https://youtu.be/ZIp-oSEBoGo 0:00 Trading Polygamy for Temple Work 3:58 Race & the Temple 16:21 Caring for the Dead Don't miss our other discussions with Jonathan. https://gospeltangents.com/people/jonathan_stapley Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Dr. Jonathan Stapley concludes his deep dive into his award-winning book, Holiness to the Lord. He tackles some of the most complex historical topics surrounding Latter-day Saint temple worship, including the ideological shift away from plural marriage, the history of racial restrictions, and the profound religious work of caring for the dead. Did Temple Work Replace Polygamy? Historian Dr. Richard E Bennett has previously argued that as the Church abandoned plural marriage, work for the dead stepped in as its replacement. Stapley agrees there is truth to this. Before 1890, regular temple attendance was incredibly rare; most early Latter-day Saints only went once in their lives for their own endowment and sealing. Because of this, 19th-century Saints typically viewed temple robes as “burial clothing,” since they saw it more often on deceased bodies than on living worshippers. However, following the 1890 Manifesto and Wilford Woodruff’s 1894 revelation on adoption, regular proxy labor radically transformed the Latter-day Saint experience. Temple attendance became a normative, regular practice, effectively replacing plural marriage as the core foundation of 20th-century Latter-day Saint identity construction. Segregation, Race & LDS Temples We also unpacked the complicated history of race & the temple. Early in the Church’s history, Black members did participate in temple ordinances: Elijah Abel was washed and anointed in the Kirtland Temple, Jane Manning James performed baptisms for the dead in the Endowment House, and historical records show that several previously enslaved women were endowed in the Salt Lake Temple. Tragically, as Jim Crow-era segregationist worldviews hardened in the 20th century, policies shifted. Stapley highlights research by Tanya Ryder showing a period where Black members could submit their family history to the temple but were required to have white proxies perform the actual baptisms. When asked if the temple restriction was instituted primarily to prevent interracial marriage, Stapley offers a nuanced historian’s view. While Brigham Young actively encouraged intermarriages between white settlers and Native Americans, he harbored intense opposition to Black and white intermarriage and procreation. Stapley notes that while Brigham Young’s racist views on intermarriage undeniably informed the temple ban, historians lack the specific documentation to conclusively prove it was the exact causal instigation. Debunking the 1979 “Satan” Film Myth Stapley also takes a moment to debunk a persistent rumor regarding the 1979 temple film. A popular story claims that the Church asked a dark-skinned or Polynesian actor to play Satan, but the actor protested the racist casting. Stapley explains that there is no good evidence for this event; the entire rumor stems from a single, unreliable third-hand source—a typed memory of a purported conversation. Caring for the Dead To conclude, Stapley reflects on one of the most resonant chapters of his book: the religious practice of caring for and dressing the dead. In modern society, the professionalization of medicine and funerals has largely insulated us from death. Stapley argues that the Latter-day Saint practice of dressing deceased loved ones in temple clothing provides an incredibly important religious outlet to process grief. Furthermore, this enduring ritual acts as a powerful symbol, signaling the believers’ incorporation into the priesthood as heavenly kings, queens, priests, and priestesses.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness For thousands of years, the Sumerians told of powerful beings known as the Anunnaki—mysterious entities said to have shaped civilization, bestowed knowledge, and then vanished into myth. Most people today assume they were extraterrestrials. But what if the story was never about aliens at all? Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the Anunnaki may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness—accessed through ritual, trance, and sacred practices used by ancient priesthoods. In her new book Anunnaki Revelation, she explores a startling possibility: that ancient civilizations possessed a lost technology of consciousness—a kind of stargate of the mind—capable of opening contact with other realms. GUEST: Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author who explores the hidden side of ancient history—where archaeology, mythology, and the occult intersect. She has appeared on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens and written several books examining lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the mysteries embedded in ancient texts. Her latest book, Anunnaki Revelation, challenges the extraterrestrial narrative and proposes a startling new interpretation: that the “gods” of antiquity may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness.

How did a small town south of Denver emerge as the center of evangelical capitalism after World War II? Historian Dr. William Schultz explains how evangelicals' faith intertwined with a specific interpretation of Americanism, especially during the Cold War era, and how this allowed them to transition from the margins of society to the epicenter of conservative dialogue.About our guest:William Schultz is a historian of American religion with an interest in the intersection of religion, politics, and capitalism. Schultz is currently finishing his first book, Jesus Springs: Evangelical Capitalism and the Fate of an American City (under contract with UNC Press), which explains how the confluence of evangelical Christianity and free-market capitalism transformed the city of Colorado Springs into an epicenter of American conservatism. His next project, The Wages of Sin: Faith, Fraud, and Religious Freedom in Modern America, uses cases of financial fraud between the 1920s and 1990s to explore how Americans have struggled with questions of religious authority and authenticity. Prior to joining the University of Chicago, Schultz was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and a faculty fellow at Harvard University. He received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina and his Ph.D. from Princeton University.

What if the story you've been told about “overpopulation” is a lie? Historian Dr. Lina-Maria Murillo, author of Fighting for Control: Power, Reproductive Care, and Race in the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands, joins Saadia Khan to unravel a century of reproductive politics that have shaped how we talk about abortion, contraception, and “desirability.” The episode exposes how eugenics quietly evolved into modern population-control policies and why blaming poor folks for “too many children” masks the real crisis: resource hoarding and racial capitalism. From Mexican border clinics to U.S. legislative battles, this conversation challenges everything we think we know about reproductive rights. It's uncomfortable, revelatory, and necessary. Listen to understand why true reproductive justice means more than the right not to have children; it means the right to raise them in safety, dignity, and care.

Send us a textThe violent clashes that erupted across the Kansas frontier in 1868 have often been shrouded in overly simplistic narratives. Historian Dr. Jeff Broome courageously challenges these conventional interpretations, revealing the intricate realities that drove Southern Plains tribes to warfare against white settlers.Through his remarkable research into Indian depredation claims—sworn testimonies encompassing nearly 800 storage feet at the National Archives—Broome uncovers perspectives that have long been overlooked. "Here is a hidden voice of these settlers," he explains, shedding light on the experiences of frontier families intertwined in the conflict.The roots of violence run deeper than commonly perceived. The Cheyenne migrated from Minnesota centuries ago, displacing other tribes and asserting their dominance over the Central Plains. Yet by 1868, their control had lasted merely two generations, while a series of treaties had drastically reduced their lands by approximately 15 times. The tipping point arrived as settlers disrupted the buffalo migrations essential to the Cheyenne's survival.Most revealing is Dr. Broome's evidence regarding Chief Black Kettle, who was traditionally viewed as a steadfast peace advocate. Settler accounts suggest he "played both sides"—cultivating relationships with military authorities while supporting war preparations. Although he did not directly participate in raids, his role appears more intricate than previously recognized.The August 1868 raids commenced along Spillman Creek, where newly arrived homesteaders suddenly became vulnerable on isolated claims. With no established towns or newspapers in the area, ascertaining exact casualty numbers remains challenging, though Governor Crawford estimated "upwards of 40 settlers" killed.By delving into these untapped primary sources, Broome helps us grasp that the violence in 1868 resulted from a potent combination of diminishing resources, broken promises, tribal dynamics, and government shortfalls—a nuanced perspective vital for anyone striving to comprehend this pivotal moment in American frontier history.Would you be ready to explore more?

How did a non-Mormon who teaches in Virginia get interested in Mormon History? John Turner has written the newest biography of Joseph Smith. He is a professor of History at George Mason University and has written not only the pre-eminent biography of Brigham Young, but has a new biography called "Joseph Smith: The Rise & Fall of an American Prophet." We'll discuss both of these amazing biographies and why he chooses to write about these important Mormon figures. Check out our conversation...

Are you a fan of Mormon history, science, and theology? Then you won't want to miss the latest interview on Gospel Tangents, featuring renowned East Coast scholar Dr. John Turner. Rick sat down with Dr. Turner to discuss his brand-new book, "Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet," which is set to release on Amazon on June 17th. Meet the Historian: Dr. John Turner Dr. John Turner is a professor at George Mason University in Northern Virginia. Turner's academic journey is quite interesting: He completed his undergraduate degree in History and German at Middlebury College in Vermont. He then pursued his PhD in US History at the University of Notre Dame. Interestingly, he took a detour during his PhD to earn a Master of Divinity at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, an experience he found helpful for writing about religious experience and doctrine with more information and sensitivity. Turner's interest in Latter-day Saint history was sparked by meeting "extremely winsome and engaging personalities" like Patrick Mason and Matt Grow while at Notre Dame. He also realized that the Latter-day Saint story was a bit of local history for him, having grown up near Palmyra, New York, "where it all began." Although his dissertation focused on American evangelicalism, he sought to learn new things for his second project and found the Joseph Smith and Brigham Young eras "so fascinating.” Non-Mormon Scholar's Perspective on Mormon History Dr. Turner has authored multiple books on Mormonism, including "Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet" and "The Mormon Jesus," in addition to his new Joseph Smith biography. As a non-Mormon (he identifies as Trinitarian), Turner notes a key difference in his approach: he can express his conclusions and share his findings without worrying about "an ecclesiastical reaction" or "getting excommunicated," which might be a concern for Latter-day Saint scholars. He is "pretty single-minded" when working on a book, focusing on one project at a time. Inspiration Behind the Joseph Smith Biography Turner found it "a really good time to take on a Jo Smith biography"11. His primary motivations for writing about Joseph Smith, especially after his Brigham Young book, were twofold12: Engaging Foundational Questions: Writing about Brigham Young allowed him to largely "take for granted" core beliefs and events, but with Joseph Smith, it was an "opportunity and a challenge to return to that... foundational time period" and "engage some hard questions". These include questions about golden plates, divine messages, and Joseph's motivations for plural marriage. Joseph Smith as a Biographical Subject: Turner describes Joseph Smith as a "great biographical subject" – a "mirthful, colorful man" who is "energetic and dynamic." His public life, spanning essentially 15 years, was "packed" with events, demanding a "fast-paced story". Turner also lavishes praise on the Joseph Smith Papers project, calling it "fantastic" and an "enormously useful" resource that provided a "huge head start" due to its accurate transcriptions, images,

Enchantment, Magic, & Supernatural Technologies w/ Historian Dr. Francis Young"Is magic real? Does magic work?""It's a question that is worth asking.""The world is full of spirits."Enchantment is fast entering the mainstream conversation. More people doubt mechanical materialism; there is something out there. Scholars, however, have hesitated. Stories of flying friars and encounters with spirits are considered as more than a cultural myth but as testimonies to reality. What is the history of enchantment? What about magic and religion? How might scholars view history with new eyes? Charles sits down with Dr. Francis Young, historian and author, to reflect on these questions and others.

Historian Dr. Elizabeth L. Block, author of "Beyond Vanity: The History and Power of Hairdressing," returns to the show for an insightful and fascinating look at hair and hairdressing in the Gilded Age. Hairstyles and the methods of hairdressing evolved dramatically over the 19th century from an "at home" activity shared by sisters and female relatives to salons opening often with female entrepreneurs which gave women significant agency and power. In addition to making a social statement through one's designer gowns from the great Paris couture houses, Gilded Age hostesses made sure that in addition to the dresses and jewels, they wore the most fashionable hairstyles of the day.

On Friday, A'ndre chatted with Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky, a presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library, to explore President Jimmy Carter's presidential and post-presidential foreign policy legacy following his passing at age 100. The discussion began by addressing public reactions to Carter's death and why the dichotomy of a “failed presidency but outstanding post-presidency” is misleading. Dr. Chervinsky highlighted Carter's foreign policy achievements, including the Camp David Accords, normalization of relations with China, handling of the Cold War, and the Panama Canal Treaty, as well as Carter's difficulties in dealing with the Iranian Hostage Crisis and inflation.They examined Carter's presidency in the context of the geopolitical landscape of the late 1970s and his approach to diplomacy, contrasting his administration with the subsequent Reagan era. The conversation also touched on Carter's post-presidential influence on foreign policy through the Carter Center and drew parallels between his legacy redefinition and that of John Quincy Adams.

Fleeing from Europe to the New World for religious freedom in 1620, the Pilgrims intended to settle in northern Virginia, not far from Jamestown where there was an established community. But their ship was blown off course and landed instead at Plymouth, Massachusetts. And because they were in unsettled territory, the Pilgrims (before disembarking the Mayflower) created a document that became the prototype for America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, author and historian Dr. Jerry Newcombe explores the faith steeped history of Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims who landed in the New World and created the essence of the American experiment, the agreement for self-government, a civil body politic under God. The very first Thanksgiving, as the Pilgrims sat down with the Indians to share a meal, was always about giving thanks to an Almighty God, through whose Providence they were brought to a new land. Unfortunately, the education system in this land of the free has worked to erase God from the history books. But Newcombe, the Executive Director of Providence Forum, is pushing back.

Black resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolence and Malcolm X's “by any means necessary.” Dr. Gee discuss how in her book, We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson urges us to move past this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women. Dr. Carter Jackson explains the dismissal of “Black violence” as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy, a distraction from the insidious, unrelenting violence of structural racism. Dr. Gee and Dr. Carter Jackson also explore the fact that Black men are being killed in the streets but Black women are being killed in the private space of their own homes. Hear about how “Black flight" is connected to joy in that Black folks needs space to get away from regular white supremacist life. Finally, Dr. Carter Jackson also shows her enthusiasm for dolls, and especially Black dolls with their unique cultural significance. Kellie Carter Jackson is the Michael and Denise ‘68 Associate Professor of Africana Studies and the Chair of the Africana Studies Department Wellesley College. She is the author We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance (Seal Press) and of the award winning book, Force & Freedom: Black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence .

Broussard Best First Book Prize, and a finalist for the Museum of African American History (MAAH) Stone Book Prize Award for 2019. The Washington Post listed Force and Freedom as one of 13 books to read on African American history. Her interview, “A History of Violent Protest” on Slate's What's Next podcast was listed as one of the best of 2020. She has also given a Tedx talk on “Why Black Abolitionists Matter.” Her essays have been published in The New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, the Boston Globe, CNN, and a host of other outlets.

You probably learned about the Founding Fathers in school…or maybe you had a deep Hamilton phase like the rest of us, but what about the lesser known figures like John Hancock? Historian Dr. Brooke Barbier joins Jonathan to fill us in on the man behind the famous signature. From his willingness to publicly change his mind, his ability to find the middle ground, and his talent for throwing a killer party to bring all kinds of people together, Brooke illuminates the lessons we can learn from the so-called “King Hancock” of 1775 Boston. Brooke Barbier is a public historian who received her PhD in American history from Boston College, specifically researching Boston's social and cultural life during and after the American Revolution. Two of Brooke's favorite things are history and beer, so in 2013 she founded Ye Olde Tavern Tours, which offers tours of Boston's historic sites and taverns (beer is included!).

Savage speaks with best-selling author and historian Dr. Rainer Zitelmann to debunk the myths about capitalism and expose the growing threat of socialism. German-born Zitelmann first explains how Hitler's policies were more anti-capitalist than commonly believed. He also criticizes the shift towards planned economies in Europe and the US, using Poland as an example of a country that suffered under a planned economy after World War II but has since turned towards capitalism. They discuss the increasing popularity of socialist ideologies worldwide and warn about the consequences of socialist experiments, using Venezuela and Vietnam as examples. He also criticizes wealthy individuals who support higher taxes and Democratic politicians despite potentially negative consequences for their businesses. The professor believes nations forget why they became successful and replace capitalism with a victimhood mentality. He also criticizes entrepreneurs and conservatives for not fighting for capitalism and instead focusing on their businesses, while intellectuals create theories of socialism and blame capitalism for socialism's failures.
