A scholar at Times and Seasons lays out a new framework for understanding Joseph Smith's theology of plural marriage, arguing Smith was developing a doctrine of "shared marriage" that predated the 1843 revelation in Doctrine and Covenants 132. The argument places Smith's polygamy within his broader restoration theology—claiming he saw the Bible as incomplete and sought to restore practices he believed were missing from scripture. This adds nuance to long-debated questions about when Smith first conceived of plural marriage and whether it was always part of his restorationist vision.
