This collection of interdisciplinary essays explores the prime concern
of Mormon Studies – the relationship between knowledge and
spirituality – and how that relationship has been defined and
reinterpreted over time. Beginning with an examination of the
international prospects for Mormonism at the turn of the century, the
volume's overarching theme, from sociological, anthropological and
theological approaches, is the examination of changing Mormon
identities. The contributors review the expansion of Mormonism, the
emotional and social contexts of its historic and contemporary
manifestations, the distinction between 'Utah' Mormons and the
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and issues in
Mormon feminism, concluding with a valuable review of the sources and
documents available for studying Mormonism.
