THE FUNDAMENTALIST MORMON

THE FUNDAMENTALIST MORMON                                    presented at                             The Sunstone Symposium                                  August 1989 by Ogden Kraut   [1]                       THE FUNDAMENTALIST MORMON In order to briefly cover the broad spectrum of Mormon Fundamentalism, this paper is divided into three main areas: (1) The Early History, (2) The Doctrinal Differences, and (3) The Fundamentalist People. The Early History   The Prophet Joseph Smith was the first Fundamentalist Mormon in this dispensation, simply because he was the first to teach, advocate and practice the fundamental principles of the Gospel. However, those who advocate these original doctrines today are called Fundamentalists and are considered as outsiders from the main body of the LDS Church.
