Reviews

To observers who see Mormonism either as a remnant of the frontier American West or a captive of contemporary capitalism, this volume demonstrates the diverse ways in which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has encountered and adapted to a globalized and diverse world. This book stands as the definitive exploration of Mormonism since World War II, charting a course for studies of this dynamic faith well into the 21st century. - Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis
