Description
Introduction: For Another Thousand Years 1 Mormons in the American Imagination 2 An American Marriage 3 The Political Kingdom of God 4 An American Theology 5 Mormonism as the American Narrative Conclusion: The Most American of Religions Notes Selected Bibliography Index
Trepanier and Newswander examine the intersection of the tension between the nation's sometimes bizarre understanding of Mormon belief and the suspicious acceptance of the most well known Mormons into the American public identity. Readers are consistently challenged to abandon popular perceptions in order to embrace more fully the fascinating importance of this American religion. -- "Theological Book Review"
