Description

 							In the late 1820s a fiery young minister in western Ohio converted nearly 1,000 proselytes to the Reformed
Baptist Movement. As these schismatics organized themselves into the new Disciples of Christ church, the Reverend Sidney
Rigdon was already aligning himself with another, more radical movement, the Latter-day Saints, where he quickly became
the LDS prophet’s principal advisor and spokesman. He served Joseph Smith loyally for the next fourteen years,
even through a brief spat over the prophet’s romantic interest in his teenage daughter.
  
  Next to
Smith, Rigdon was the most influential early Mormon. He imported Reformed Baptist teachings into Latter-day Saint
theology, wrote the canonized Lectures on Faith, championed communalism and isolationism, and delivered many of the most
significant early sermons, including the famous Salt Sermon and the Ohio temple dedicatory address.
  
 
Following Smith’s death, Rigdon parted company with Brigham Young to lead his own group of some 500 secessionists
Mormons in Pennsylvania. Rigdon’s following gradually dwindled, as the one-time orator took to wandering the
streets, taunting indifferent passersby with God’s word. He was later recruited by another Mormon faction.
Although he refused to meet with them, he agreed to be their prophet and send revelations by mail. Before long he had
directed them to settle far-off Iowa and Manitoba, among other things. At his death, his followers numbered in the
hundreds, and today they number about 10,000, mostly in Pennsylvania.
  
  “Rigdon is a
biographer’s dream,” writes Richard Van Wagoner. Intellectually gifted, manic-depressive, an eloquent
orator and social innovator but a chronic indigent, Rigdon aspired to altruism but demanded advantage and deference.
When he lost prominence, his early attainments were virtually written out of the historical record.
  
 
Correcting this void, Van Wagoner has woven the psychology of religious incontinence into the larger fabric of social
history. In doing so, he reminds readers of the significance of this nearly-forgotten founding member of the LDS First
Presidency. Nearly ten million members in over one hundred churches trace their heritage to Joseph Smith. Many are
unaware of the importance of Rigdon’s contributions to their inherited theology.
