Michael
Marquar[d]t, an anti-Mormon writer, wrote a letter to the First Presidency of
the Mormon Church recently under the assumed name of Janice Wilden, asking
about the Adam-God Theory. It was answered by Francis M. Gibbons, secretary to
the First Presidency, as follows:
"Dear
Sister Wilden: I have been asked to acknowledge your letter dated December 3,
1976, to President Kimball about the so-called Adam-God theory, and to suggest
that you obtain a copy of the book, Adam--Who Is He? by Elder Mark E. Petersen,
which fully discusses the questions you raise." (Richard Stephen Marshall,
"The New Mormon History" [B.A. thesis, University of Utah, May 1,
1977], 71-72)
