Hyrum L. Andrus published a "study" in 4 volumes.
#1: God, Man and the Universe
#2: Principles of Perfection
#3: Doctrines of the Kingdom
#4: ?

Can someone tell me what is its vol #4 Title ?

I don't believe he finished/published the final book in the series. The Church shut him down very abruptly, with threats of excommunication for things that he was teaching and I believe it curtailed the finalization of that book.

I do have a DVD of all three of his Snowflake Arizona "firesides" that lead up to the silencing of Hyrum Andrus.

Rock, would you mind making a copy of that DVD for me?

Could one of you tell me a little about Hyrum L. Andrus? Thanks!

About a year or so back, I found an old shoe box of 50 some odd cassette tapes that I thought had been long lost. I converted them to digital, ended up contacting my old friend after many years and presented him with the resulting DVD. Afterwards I cried, uncontrollably in some potent combination of resolution, closure, joy and sadness.

I don't really want to rehash this much at this time. However, here are some links where it got some discussion.

A very good set of pod casts -- where Paul has some interesting perspective of HA. I believe the HA aspects are in the first hour.

Start with those if interested.

Yes, and I owe Johnnyfixit one as well ... I need to go get some DVD mailers to get him one, it's been a month or more since I promised this to him.

So, I should drop this keyboard and head to the store ...

pm me a mailing address if you want it mailed, or I might actually see you soon.

I think I understand, and I appreciate your making those links available. Thanks.

I hope you don't mind if I horn in on this action. I was only able to find one volume of Hyrum Andrus' series and I read it and thought it was wonderful. I can't remember which one it was now. Maybe, "God, Man and the Universe"? Or was that the entire set?

Anyway, I will gladly repay you Tuesday for a DVD today.

I'll PM you.

All the Best!

Hi Everyone -

I know this is an old thread, but i hope to provide some helpful information: I was a research assistant to Andrus for several years during the publication of (what was to be) a four-volume "tour-de-force" work on the thoughts and teachings of Joseph Smith: "Foundations of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ"

1st Volume: God, Man and the Universe,
2nd Volume: "Principles of Perfection",
3rd Volume: "Doctrines of tthe Kingdom",

- and the fourth volume, which was to be on LDS Eschatology (Last Days prophecy), but which was never published.



But anyone who would like to read other materials on this topic, would find the following Andrus books helpful:

- Joseph Smith and World Government
- Descriptions of Zion-Contrasts Between Liberalism, Conservatism & Mormonism – Softcover (1972)
- Liberalism Conservatism & Mormonism (1965)
- What is Zion? Joseph Smith Lecture Series 1972-73. with an Introduction by Hyrum L. Andrus by Hugh Nibley et al (1973)


Also, i think it's important to note that while it's certainly true that his tendency to discuss controversial topics didn't exactly make him a favorite of the Brethren (especially of BR McConkie), Andrus was never excommunicated nor disfellowshipped.

I hope that's helpful.

Blessings to All ~
