Mormon Studies

Autor Ronald Helfrich
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 dec 2021
Mormonism arose in early 19th century New York and has fired the imaginations of its devotees, critics, and students since. Some intellectuals and academics read Mormonism as the product of economic change wrought by the Erie Canal in the Burned-over District of western New York State and upper north-eastern Ohio. Others read Mormonism as an authoritarian reaction to Jacksonian democracy. Finally, some, including most of those who became Mormons in the early 19th century and most of those who are believing Mormons today, read Mormonism as the intervention of God in human history. This book engages with Mormon Studies from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century to the end of the 20th century. It covers those who fought over Mormonism's truth or falsity, on those who tried to understand Mormonism as a religious and sociological phenomenon, and on those who explored the history of Mormonism from a more dispassionate perspective. The book concludes with an exploration of the culture war that erupted as Mormon Studies professionalized particularly after the 1960s.
