Reviews

Over against the diffidence of evangelical historians, who may sometimes say too little in what they write, Bushman's essays are refreshingly bold. -- Elesha Coffman Christian Review 17 thoughtful personal and scholarily essays. -- Richard H. Cracroft BYU Magazine This volume represents a significant contribution... The depth and quality of these essays affirm Bushman's status as the most articulate scholar defending the traditional interpretation of early Mormon origins. -- Newell G. Bringhurst Journal of Mormon History These essays strike at the tension between the seemingly incompatible views of the believing Mormon in the unbelieving world... Informative and revealing. -- Byron C. Smith Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought Probably the greatest scholar who happens to be a Latter-day Saint, Richard L. Bushman is a historian of exceptional accomplishment... A careful scholar, he has always balanced the academic with the religious. -- Dennis Lythgoe Deseret Morning News
