| Summary: | "Law and the Restoration: Law and Latter-day Saint History is a profound exploration of the intricate legal history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this first of two volumes, Nathan B. Oman delves into the unique intersection of law and religion, uncovering how legal frameworks have shaped and been shaped by the experiences of Latter-day Saints. Through a series of meticulously researched essays, Oman reveals the profound impact of legal conflicts and developments on the growth and identity of the Church. From the early struggles for legal recognition and the battles over polygamy to the establishment of corporate entities and the role of religious courts, this book offers a comprehensive and enlightening narrative of the Church's legal journey. Oman's scholarly work extends beyond mere historical recounting; it situates the Mormon legal experience within the broader context of American legal history. By examining the ways in which the Latter-day Saints navigated the legal challenges posed by a predominantly Protestant legal system, Oman provides invaluable insights into the broader themes of religious freedom, church-state relations, and legal pluralism. Each chapter is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Church, highlighting pivotal moments and key figures who influenced its legal standing"-- Three generations of Mormon legal history -- Preaching in the court house and judging in the temple -- "Agreeable to the laws of our country" : Mormonism, church corporations, and the long legacy of America's constitution making in the Council of Fifty -- Natural law and the rhetoric of empire : Reynolds v. United States, polygamy, and imperialism -- Salt, Smurthwaite, and Smith : litigation and the legal identity of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- Time, eternity, and real estate : Hilton v. Roylance, Mormon law in secular court, and the opacity of religion -- "The blessing that's anticipated here will be realized in the next life" : the development of modern Latter-day Saint marital sealing rules -- International legal experience and the Mormon theology of the state, 1945-2021. |
