Little Book of Mormon

Description

With a hit musical about the Mormons on Broadway and a Mormon recently having run for US president, Berkshire Publishing brings you The Little Book of Mormon, guaranteed to tell much more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members than a popular TV series (Big Love), Broadway musical (The Book of Mormon), mainstream media, and political pundits combined. This little book includes articles by eleven scholars – some of them Mormons, other not – whose interests in the faith range from historical perspectives on persecution to modern analyses of church-state relations, rituals and practices, and conflicting ideologies about peace and war. It comes to you at a time when global citizens need to be better-informed about a religion that has been both controversial and quietly accepted since its founding in the United States in the 1840s.

Authors: Hans A. Baer, Sherry Baker, Brian D. Birch, Elizabeth A. Clark, Mario S. De Pillis Sr., George B. Handley, William F. Hanna, John P. Hawkins, Grant Underwood, Kurt Widmer, and Simon Worrall.
