OverviewWinner of the Best Anthology Book Award from the John Whitmer Historical Association Winner of the Special Award for Scholarly Publishing from the Association for Mormon LettersScholarly interest in Mormon theology, history, texts, and practices--what makes up the field now known as Mormon studies--has reached unprecedented levels, making it one of the fastest-growing subfields in religious studies. In this volume, Terryl Givens and Philip Barlow, two leading scholars of Mormonism, have brought together 45 of the top experts in the field to construct a collection of essays that offers a comprehensive overview of scholarship on Mormons. The book begins with a section on Mormon history, perhaps the most well-developed area of Mormon studies. Chapters in this section deal with questions ranging from how Mormon history is studied in the university to the role women have played over time. Other sections examine revelation and scripture, church structure and practice, theology, society, and culture. The final two sections look at Mormonism in a larger context. The authors examine Mormon expansion across the globe--focusing on Mormonism in Latin America, the Pacific, Europe, and Asia--in addition to the interaction between Mormonism and other social systems, such as law, politics, and other faiths. Bringing together an impressive body of scholarship, this volume reveals the vast range of disciplines and subjects where Mormonism continues to play a significant role in the academic conversation. The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism will be an invaluable resource for those within the field, as well as for people studying the broader, ever-changing American religious landscape.

Mormons and Muslims- Daniel Peterson IndexReviewsThis collection provides a valuable synthesis of Mormon theology and practice. * Nova Religio * As a reference, it is a terrific addition to any library, whether academic, public, or private. The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism is one of the best such handbooks and it will certainly be a useful starting point for years of research, thought, and discussion. * Journal of Mormon History * The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism... is an excellent resource for both Mormons as well as scholars (or even casual observers) wishing to gauge current scholarship on the topic. * Association for Mormon Letters * ...Givens and Barlow range far and wide to include a full stable of voices and points of view... * The Deseret News * The authors represent a wish-list...The essays are thoughtful and reasoned...I am not aware of a similar collection of absolutely qualified authors.. * By Common Consent * An exceptionally complete overview of scholarship on Mormonism Treating a wide range of important topics, this is a valuable resource on Mormonism. * CHOICE * I strongly endorse The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism. On balance it is a serious (and successful) attempt to talk about Mormonism in a productive and meaningful manner. * Interpreter * The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism contributes considerably to the burgeoning field of Mormon studies. The essays are logically and neatly organized in the eight sections, yet each topic is distinct. The essays are current and should provide a valuable resource for those in Mormon studies, as well as for general readers interested in the open landscape of American and world religions. * BYU Studies Quarterly * The forty-one articles in this welcome compendium of knowledge and critical reflection enable the reader to understand how this process of steady enlightenment is taking place...This volume is cause for genuine rejoicing. There is no more efficient and authoritative guide to things Mormon. Designed for a readership of non-Mormons as well as Mormons, the Handbook is a striking step toward the more complete integration of the study of Mormonism into the study of American history, politics, society, and culture. * Mormon Studies Review * [T]his book reflects what it claims to reflect: the seemingly ever-accelerating shift away from the New Mormon History toward a far more diverse and eclectic study of the Mormon tradition. It presents the best of more traditional scholarship, and gestures toward the new, and even most of those essays that are more traditional in focus and scope, like Matthew J. Grow's 'The Modern Mormon Church,' point at their conclusion toward areas of future study and scholarship. It would serve as an invaluable resource for scholars interested in getting a handle on the state of the field, and will serve those more experience. * Matthew Bowman, Religious Studies Review * Author InformationTerryl L. Givens is Jabez A. Bostwick Professor of English at the University of Richmond. He is the author of Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought: Cosmos, God, Humanity. Philip L.
