Summary:
"With Mormonism on the verge of an unprecedented cultural and political breakthrough, an eminent scholar of
American
evangelicalism explores the history and reflects on the future of this native-born
American
faith
and its connection to the life of the nation. In 1830, a young seer named Joseph Smith began organizing adherents into a new religious community that would come to be called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (known informally as the Mormons). Here, religious historian Matthew Bowman presents more than 180 years of Mormon history and doctrine. He recounts the church's origin and development, explains how Mormonism came to be one of the fastest-growing religions in the world by the turn of the 21st century, and sets the scene for a 2012 presidential election that has the potential to mark a major turning point in the way this
faith
is perceived by the wider
American
public--and internationally."--From publisher.
