The Worst of Brigham Young: Highlights from His Most Outrageous Sermons
Brigham Young was the second president and prophet of the early Mormon Church—and one of the most controversial religious leaders of 19th-century America.
In this video, we examine a compilation of some of Brigham Young’s most outrageous, bizarre, extreme, and disturbing sermons. His views on race, women, sexuality, religion, and social order could be shocking even by the standards of his own era.
Rather than simply telling you what Brigham Young believed, we’re going to let his own words speak for themselves.
This is a historical reenactment featuring an actor portraying Brigham Young inside a historic Mormon Tabernacle. The goal is to bring these historical statements to life while allowing you to hear them in context and decide for yourself just how extreme these teachings really were.
This video is presented for historical, educational, and critical commentary purposes.
Listen carefully. Some of these statements are difficult to believe—but they come directly from the historical record.
What do you think? Were Brigham Young’s teachings merely products of their time, or were some of them extreme even for the 19th century?
