Listen "92. Excursus: Joseph Smith's Anti-Creedal Imperative (Part 7/9)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Skye flies solo further analyzing the Mormon anti-creedal imperative. Building on the coverage in Part One of the Creedal Imperative series, Skye analyzes whether it it just creeds – or perhaps it is a deeper issue that would affect their view of canon, and even written texts at all? This is all occurring within the background of the Mormon paradox of on the one hand, the impulse toward exclusivity – and on the other hand, the trend toward a type of conformity that downplays any distinctives.
