INTRODUCTION
How the Adam-God Doctrine either is supported or contradicted by the Endowment ceremony is a subject both proponents and detractors of the Adam-God Doctrine have interest in. This paper was written to explore the historical understanding of the Endowment ceremony and how it relates to the Adam-God Doctrine: Was the Adam-God Doctrine taught in the early Mormon Endowment ceremony? How does the Adam-God Doctrine fit with the Endowment teaching that Elohim, Jehovah, and Michael created this world? These questions and others will be explored in this paper. Additionally, a history of the evolution in the understanding of the title Jehovah in early Mormonism is included as an appendix to this paper.
