"This is an extraordinarily well-crafted collection of essays. The volume offers both a rearview mirror for where the field has been and a roadmap for where it is and can go. The sections and chapters push beyond the usual suspects providing one new direction after another." -Edward J. Blum, coauthor of The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America "The essays are well written, thoughtful, and represent the best and most forward thinking work in Mormon studies. The authors offer up specific Mormon case studies, but from interpretive positions that make the material interesting and relevant to scholars in other fields." -Susanna Morrill, author of White Roses on the Floor of Heaven: Mormon Women's Popular Theology, 1880-1920
