PRAISE FOR THE BOOK OF MORMON FOR THE LEAST OF THESE When different questions are posed to the text of the Book of Mormon, it gives very different answers. Margaret Hemming Olsen and Fatimah Salleh have asked some of the most difficult questions of the volume. That the Book of Mormon continues to give remarkable answers, even if not always comfortable ones, is a testament to the undying inspiration that has animated it since its coming forth. That these two scholars have had enough confidence in the Book of Mormon to raise such questions will make The Book of Mormon for the Least of These an important work for a long time. -Joseph Spencer, author of 1st Nephi: A Brief Theological Introduction and The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology, Volumes One & Two With this third volume of The Book of Mormon for the Least of These, Dr. Fatimah Salleh and Margaret Olsen Hemming complete their awe-inspiring project of analyzing the Book of Mormon in its entirety using a social justice framework. Through unflinching readings of the book's depictions of racial violence, national failure, and traumatic loss, they show how it truly is "a text for our time." Readers of this volume will not find easy answers, but they will find a Book of Mormon that asks hard questions about what is required of those who wish to build a just world. This is a beautiful work of original exegesis, one to which I will return again and again. -Elizabeth Fenton, co-editor of Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon People have long wondered how our Black Americans could have survived their experiences while maintaining their faith. This is how they did it. This book works to embed faith in Jesus Christ and the scriptural Word into people's very beings. Although the title references those who have been forgotten or overlooked, The Book of Mormon for the Least of These is for everyone, regardless of social status or understanding of scripture. It is an aid in helping us to fulfill Jesus' charge to "be one," that as we gather to hear and understand one another by viewing through different lenses we are indeed gathering unto The Christ collectively. -Alice Faulkner Burch, Editor of My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-Day Saints
Book Synopsis Understanding the Book of Mormon by : Grant Hardy
Download or read book Understanding the Book of Mormon written by Grant Hardy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain once derided the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print." Long and complicated, written in the language of the King James version of the Bible, it boggles the minds of many. Yet it is unquestionably one of the most influential books ever written. With over 140 million copies in print, it is a central text of one of the largest and fastest-growing faiths in the world. And, Grant Hardy shows, it's far from the coma-inducing doorstop caricatured by Twain. In Understanding the Book of Mormon, Hardy offers the first comprehensive analysis of the work's narrative structure in its 180 year history. Unlike virtually all other recent world scriptures, the Book of Mormon presents itself as an integrated narrative rather than a series of doctrinal expositions, moral injunctions, or devotional hymns. Hardy takes readers through its characters, events, and ideas, as he explores the story and its messages. He identifies the book's literary techniques, such as characterization, embedded documents, allusions, and parallel narratives. Whether Joseph Smith is regarded as author or translator, it's noteworthy that he never speaks in his own voice; rather, he mediates nearly everything through the narrators Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni. Hardy shows how each has a distinctive voice, and all are woven into an integral whole. As with any scripture, the contending views of the Book of Mormon can seem irreconcilable. For believers, it is an actual historical document, transmitted from ancient America. For nonbelievers, it is the work of a nineteenth-century farmer from upstate New York. Hardy transcends this intractable conflict by offering a literary approach, one appropriate to both history and fiction. Regardless of whether readers are interested in American history, literature, comparative religion, or even salvation, he writes, the book can best be read if we examine the text on its own terms.

Book Synopsis The Little Purple Book by : Mormon Women for Ethical Government
Download or read book The Little Purple Book written by Mormon Women for Ethical Government and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disheartened by the vitriol and extreme divisiveness of public discourse during and after the 2016 US election and by the general disintegration of honor and decency in government, a small group of Mormon women decided in January of 2017 to form a nonpartisan organization dedicated to civil discourse and effective political action. They called themselves Mormon Women for Ethical Government, and within just a few weeks had thousands of members. In this slim volume, Mormon Women for Ethical Government presents its Little Purple Book: MWEG Essentials. It includes MWEG's genesis story, explains the purpose and focus of MWEG, offers and expands on its Six Principles of Peacemaking, and shares some of its weekly "Sabbath Devotionals." Grateful for the chutzpah of their pioneer Mormon foremothers a century before them, MWEG is proud to share its institutional history, inspiration, and a look at the phenomenon of strong women standing up and speaking out for ethics and justice.
Book Synopsis The Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction by : Terryl L. Givens
Download or read book The Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction written by Terryl L. Givens and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 140 million copies in print, and serving as the principal proselytizing tool of one of the world's fastest growing faiths, the Book of Mormon is undoubtedly one of the most influential religious texts produced in the western world. Written by Terryl Givens, a leading authority on Mormonism, this compact volume offers the only concise, accessible introduction to this extraordinary work. Givens examines the Book of Mormon first and foremost in terms of the claims that its narrators make for its historical genesis, its purpose as a sacred text, and its meaning for an audience which shifts over the course of the history it unfolds. The author traces five governing themes in particular--revelation, Christ, Zion, scripture, and covenant--and analyzes the Book's central doctrines and teachings. Some of these resonate with familiar nineteenth-century religious preoccupations; others consist of radical and unexpected takes on topics from the fall of Man to Christ's mortal ministries and the meaning of atonement. Givens also provides samples of a cast of characters that number in the hundreds, and analyzes representative passages from a work that encompasses tragedy, poetry, sermons, visions, family histories and military chronicles. Finally, this introduction surveys the contested origins and production of a work held by millions to be scripture, and reviews the scholarly debates that address questions of the record's historicity. Here then is an accessible guide to what is, by any measure, an indispensable key to understanding Mormonism. But it is also an introduction to a compelling and complex text that is too often overshadowed by the controversies that surround it. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Book Synopsis Buried Treasures by : Michael Austin
Download or read book Buried Treasures written by Michael Austin and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of a year, Michael Austin--an English professor and literary critic who was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--read the Book of Mormon for the first time in more than 30 years and wrote weekly blog posts detailing his insights and challenges with the text. The 44 essays in Buried Treasures, adapted from those original posts, show a trained scholar and literary critic grappling with the foundational text of his own religious tradition and finding surprising things that he had never seen before. The essays in this volume draw a picture of the Book of Mormon that is rarely seen in the devotional writings of those who consider it a scripture or the polemical writings of those who consider it a fraud. For Austin, the Book of Mormon, whatever its origin, is a complex literary and spiritual text full of sophisticated narratives, recurring patterns, and big ideas that can sustain a high level of critical analysis. Buried Treasures shows what happens when a well-trained reader approaches this text with fresh eyes and an open mind and unearths the treasures that have been hidden in plain sight for almost 200 years. Michael Austin is the author of seven previous books, including Rereading Job, We Must Not Be Enemies, and the bestselling textbook, Reading the World: Ideas that Matter. He is currently the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at the University of Evansville in Evansville Indiana. "I discovered in the Book of Mormon a profoundly human record of people struggling with their relationship to God and to each other. It has all the messiness one would expect of a record compiled over a thousand years, with multiple narrative perspectives, biases, agendas, and blind spots-as the authors and narrators groped towards an understanding of the Kingdom of God. It is a book that can bear multiple readings from multiple perspectives without exhausting its treasures. And it is a book that Latter-day Saints should never be ashamed to place alongside the great books of the world's traditions, both religious and secular." --Michael Austin, from the Introduction
