If you've thought there was nothing new to discuss about the
connections between Masonic influences on early Mormon history and
theological development, you haven't yet read Don Bradley's article
"The Grand Fundamental Principles of Mormonism: Joseph Smith's
Unfinished Revelation" in the April 2006 Sunstone. But even more than
the new understandings about Mormonism and Masonry, this article
provides a wonderful entry into the Mormon prophet's hopes for
reshaping Church emphases during the final year of his life. What
would Mormonism be like today were the Grand Fundamental Principles
Smith attempted to install as central to LDS lives as Buddhism's Four
Noble Truths or the Five Pillars of Islam are to adherents of those
traditions? If we like that vision, what might we do to bring it into
clearer focus?
