Biography of H. Verlan Anderson
by Sterling D. Allan
Among the high leadership of the Mormon church, H. Verlan Anderson, who passed away in 1992, was
virtually alone with President Ezra Taft Benson in believing and warning that there is a
socialist-communist conspiracy to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and
that this conspiracy has it tentacles around the primary organs of society, including government,
media, education, church, business. I don't know of any general authorities today in the LDS Church
who share this belief -- certainly none that are speaking about it or writing about it in any form.
Sheri L. Dew counted 1700 discourses by ETB on the subject while doing his biography.
Hans was the first general authority Ezra Taft Benson appointed after he became President of the LDS
Church.
H. Verlan Anderson is best known in patriot circles for his book "The Great and Abominable
Church of the Devil," which he ties to the above-mentioned conspiracy. He also wrote the
classic "Many are Called, but Few are Chosen," which also addresses the roots of socialism
which are unrighteous dominion, a cardinal no no for any who wish to walk with God.
Toward the end of his life, he wrote, "The Book of Mormon and the Constitution," which his
son published after his father's passing. The book had to wait for his passing to be published so as
to not stir so much controversy.
For a while Elder Anderson was a darling of the LDS Home School movement. He had the 'mantle' of
official LDS leadership and spoke quite plainly about issues of great concern to conservative home
schoolers.
Since his passing, references to him and his writings have subsided. None of his books are currently
in print. Those who stick with the mainstream LDS church have moved on to try and glean what
infrequent informed and helpful patriotic morsels they can from the current leadership (sparse
pickings). Those who have moved on from an adherence to belief that anything inspired has to come
from the LDS leadership, have found far more bold sources of information.
There was a flutter of excitement when in 1997 and again in 1999 LDS First Counselor Thomas S.
Monson mentioned H. Verlan Anderson in a general conference talk.

This was treasured by the semi politically awake as a sort of quasi endorsement of H. Verlan
Anderson. That's about the best they can get nowadays. Pretty slim pickings.
So in posting this essay at greaterthings.com, I do not suppose for this to qualify as "greater
things" for those who are well seasoned in the religious purposes undergirding freedom. It is
intended for those who yet tarry in the LDS mainstream, to help open their eyes by an appeal to an
authority they can relate to. H. Verlan Anderson was, so far as I can tell, the last general
authority who knew what was going on in the conspiracy, and was bold enough to publish strong enough
hints for those who were partially awake to be bolstered in their awakening.
It's been a decade now since his passing. It's time to rekindle the fire of awakening that his words
can stir for those yet inclined to be awakened among the sleepyhead giants of Zion.
