This paper resulted from research done during the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship 2015 Summer Seminar, “Organizing the Kingdom: Priesthood, Church Government, and the Forms of LDS Worship.” This adaptation is shortened and focuses more on soteriology as imitatio Christi and the role temple practice and worship play in the development of the Saints as Joseph Smith envisioned it. A broader version of this paper was published earlier as “Pedadogy of Perfection: Joseph Smith’s Perfectionism, How It Was Taught in the Early LDS Church, and Its Contemporary Applicability,” Dialogue 51, no. 4 (2018): 105–43.
