The intellectual and ethical achievements of the Latter-day Saint
theologian Known in his lifetime for a tireless dedication to
humanitarian causes, Lowell L. Bennion was also one of the most
important theologians and ethicists to emerge in the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the twentieth century. George
B. Handley’s intellectual biography delves into Bennion’s
thought and extraordinary intellectual life. Rejecting the idea
that individual LDS practice might be at odds with lived
experience, Bennion insisted the gospel favored the growth of
individuals acting and living in the present. He also focused on
the need for ongoing secular learning alongside religious practice
and advocated for an idea of social morality that encouraged
Latter-day Saints to seek out meaningful transformations of
character and put their ethical commitments into practice. Handley
examines Bennion’s work against the background of a changing
institution that once welcomed his common-sense articulation of LDS
ideas and values but became discomfited by how his thought cast
doubt on the Church’s beliefs about race and other issues.
