This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Book Award • Mormon History Association A brilliant young historian excavates the brief life of a lost Mormon city, uncovering a “grand, underappreciated saga in American history” (Wall Street Journal). In Kingdom of Nauvoo, Benjamin E. Park draws on newly available sources to re-create the founding and destruction of the Mormon city of Nauvoo. On the banks of the Mississippi in Illinois, the early Mormons built a religious utopia, establishing their own army and writing their own constitution. For those offenses and others—including the introduction of polygamy, which was bitterly opposed by Emma Smith, the iron-willed first wife of Joseph Smith—the surrounding population violently ejected the Mormons, sending them on their flight to Utah. Throughout his absorbing chronicle, Park shows how the Mormons of Nauvoo were representative of their era, and in doing so elevates Mormon history into the American mainstream.

This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology offers rare access to key original documents illuminating Mormon history, theology, and culture in the United States from the nineteenth century to today. Brief introductions describe the theological significance of each text and its reflection of the practices, issues, and challenges that have defined and continue to define the Mormon community. These documents balance mainstream and peripheral thought and religious experience, institutional and personal perspective, and theoretical and practical interpretation, representing pivotal moments in LDS history and correcting decades of misinformation and stereotype. The authors of these documents, male and female, not only celebrate but speak critically and question mainline LDS teachings on sexuality, politics, gender, race, polygamy, and other issues. Selections largely focus on the Salt Lake–based LDS tradition, with a section on the post–Joseph Smith splintering and its creation of a variety of similar yet different Mormon groups. The documents are arranged chronologically within specific categories to capture both the historical and doctrinal development of Mormonism in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Bureau of Investigation has had a long and tortuous relationship with religion over almost the entirety of its existence. As early as 1917, the Bureau began to target religious communities and groups it believed were hotbeds of anti-American politics. Whether these religious communities were pacifist groups that opposed American wars, or religious groups that advocated for white supremacy or direct conflict with the FBI, the Bureau has infiltrated and surveilled religious communities that run the gamut of American religious life. The FBI and Religion recounts this fraught and fascinating history, focusing on key moments in the Bureau’s history. Starting from the beginnings of the FBI before World War I, moving through the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War, up to 9/11 and today, this book tackles questions essential to understanding not only the history of law enforcement and religion, but also the future of religious liberty in America.

Download or read book Contingent Citizens written by Spencer W. McBride and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contingent Citizens features fourteen essays that track changes in the ways Americans have perceived the Latter-day Saints since the 1830s. From presidential politics, to political violence, to the definition of marriage, to the meaning of sexual equality—the editors and contributors place Mormons in larger American histories of territorial expansion, religious mission, Constitutional interpretation, and state formation. These essays also show that the political support of the Latter-day Saints has proven, at critical junctures, valuable to other political groups. The willingness of Americans to accept Latter-day Saints as full participants in the United States political system has ranged over time and been impelled by political expediency, granting Mormons in the United States an ambiguous status, contingent on changing political needs and perceptions.

Download or read book The A to Z of Mormonism written by Davis Bitton and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mormonism is the unofficial name for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which originated in the early 1800s. Mormonism refers to the doctrines taught by Joseph Smith, doctrines that are believed to be original gospel preached by Jesus Christ. The Mormons oppose abortion, homosexuality, unmarried sexual acts, pornography, gambling, tobacco, consuming alcohol, tea, coffee, and the use of drugs. Despite its relatively young age, the Mormon Church continues to grow, and today it contains about 13 million members. The A to Z of Mormonism relates the history of the Mormon church through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on crucial persons, organizations, churches, beliefs, and events. Clearing up many of the misconceptions held about Mormonism and its members, this is an essential reference.

Book excerpt: Utah and the Mormons combines the holdings of several major libraries to bring together a significant collection that includes periodicals, doctrinal and controversial works both pro- and anti-Mormon, contemporary works relating to the Latter-Day Saints at various times and in different places. There are also materials for the history of the more important branches of the church, as well as sources of Utah history during its territorial period. While the collection does not pretend to be complete in its record of this particular religious tradition and the lives of its followers in the territories that they settled, it does include core contemporary materials during a critical period in Mormonism's establishment as an American-born religion. The Mormons' vigorous missionary activity brought opposition nearly everywhere they gathered, rendering the history of the Mormon Church is an essential element in the history of the United States and in particular states such as Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. The history of Utah is, of course, inseparable from that of the Mormons, and this collection is rich in information with rare documents exhibiting the early history of the Mormons and their influences on the histories of these states. Scholars in the fields of American studies, religious history, and the history of the west will find key nineteenth-century and early twenty century periodical publications generated by Mormon communities in different parts of the United States (and even the world, with some publications included that appeared in Liverpool and Lausanne). Ohio papers include Elder's Journal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Evening and Morning Star, and Latter Day Saints Messenger and Advocate (all published out of Kirtland, OH), as well as The Evangelical Inquirer (Dayton). The Illinois city of Nauvoo published the Nauvoo Neighbor, Kingdom of God, and The Wasp. Iowa is represented by the Frontier Guardian (Kanesville); Tennessee by the Latter Day Saints Southern Star (Chattanooga); Missouri by The Times and Seasons (Independence), California by The Western Standard (San Francisco), and Pennsylvania by The Gospel Reflector (Philadelphia) and the Messenger and Advocate of the Church of Christ (Pittsburgh). Among the monographs reproduced in this collection, scholars will find writings from Mormonism's original founders, such as A Collection of Facts, Relative to the Course Taken by Elder Sidney Rigdon; Discourses Delivered by Presidents Joseph Smith and Brigham Young on the Relation of the "Mormons" to the Government; A Series of Instructions and Remarks by President Brigham Young at a Special Council; and James Jesse Strang's The Prophetic Controversy and The Book of the Law of the Lord. Also present are such pro-Mormon testaments as Charles Thompson's Evidences in Proof of the Book of Mormon, Alfred Giles' Marriage, Monogamy and Polygamy on the Basis of Divine Law; Rudolph Etzenhouser's The Book Unsealed ... the Claims of the Book of Mormon Examined and Sustained; and Helen Mar Whitney's Why We Practice Plural Marriage. Anti-Mormon tracts appear as well, including George J. Adams' A Few Plain Facts Showing the Folly ... of the Rev. Timothy R. Matthews; Alexander Campbell's Delusions. An Analysis of the Book of Mormon; Joshua Vaughan Himes' Mormon Delusions and Monstrosities. A Review of the Book of Mormon; and Tyler Parsons' Mormon Fanaticism Exposed. A Compendium of the Book of Mormon. Works on specific historical events also abound, including The Lee Trial! An Expose of the Mountain Meadows Massacre; The Thatcher Episode: A Concise Statement of the Facts in the Case, George Turnbull Moore Davis' An Authentic Account of the Massacre of Joseph Smith; Albert M. Gibson's Have Mormons Any Rights? The New Edmunds Bill. Brief in Re Senate Bill No. 10; and William Hooper's The Utah Bill. A Plea for Religious Liberty.
