Did the law of consecration become effectively suspended or temporarily replaced by the law of tithing when the early Latter-day Saints couldnāt make it work out? Joseph M. Spencer answers no in For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope. Spencerās latest book offers an analysis of the law of consecration through a close and detailed reading of selections from Paulās letter to the Romans and Joseph Smithās revelation now canonized as section 42 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
