the apostle who was excommunicated for post manifesto polygamy though sam views him with enormous affection and though he does not attack polygamy per se problems in polygamy are implicitly reflected in this book taylor made tales is a hilarious autobiography that ends with the writing of family kingdom d michael quinn the mormon hierarchy origins of power the mormon hierarchy extensions of power j reuben clark the church years the new mormon history ed there are many specific points in quinn s books that can and should be debated but his books nevertheless are groundbreaking in their willingness to look frankly at many specific problems in mormon history they raise the question is faith promoting history a kind of history that portrays church leaders as never making mistakes or going in wrong directions or is faith promoting history a kind of history that sees god working in subtle sometimes indirect ways through church leaders who are real human beings i e constantly making mistakes j reuben clark is in some ways quinn s finest book but the hierarchy books are his magnum opus carmon hardy solemn covenant the mormon polygamous passage the tragic ordeal of post manifesto polygamy a fascinating haunting narrative and a thoughtful examination of the ethics and consequences of deciding to prevaricate for a perceived justified cause see also quinn s long article lds
