There has been an online article that has been making the rounds recently, Kirk Van Allen, “D&C 132: A Revelation of Men, not God.” Brian and Laura Hales, the latter being the author of the 3-volume Joseph Smith’s Polygamy (Greg Kofford, 2013), among other scholarly volumes, has written a very cogent and devastating refutation of the article entitled, “Lending Clarity to Confusion: A Response to Kirk Van Allen's 'D&C 132: A Revelation of Men, not God.’,” part of the FairMormon Papers and Reviews series.
EDIT: The Van Allen's have "responded" to the FairMormon piece, with Brian Hales countering such. One can find the entire to-and-fro here.
