The Mormon Culture of Salvation presents a comprehensive study of
Mormon cultural and religious life, offering important new theories
of Mormonism - one of the fastest growing movements and thought by
many to be the next world religion. Bringing social, scientific and
theological perspectives to bear on the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, Douglas Davies draws from theology, history of
religions, anthropology, sociology and psychology to present a
unique example of a truly interdisciplinary analysis in religious
studies. Examining the many aspects of Mormon belief, ritual,
family life and history, this book presents a new interpretation of
the origin of Mormonism, arguing that Mormonism is rooted in the
bereavement experience of Joseph Smith, which influenced the
development of temple ritual for the dead and the genealogical work
of many Mormon families. Davies shows how the Mormon commitment to
work for salvation relates to current Mormon belief in conversion,
and to traditional Christian ideas of grace. The Mormon Culture of
Salvation is an important work for Mormons and non-Mormons alike,
offering fresh insights into how Mormons see the world and work for
their future glory in heavenly realms. Written by a non-Mormon with
over 30 years' research experience into Mormonism, this book is
essential reading for those seeking insights into new
interdisciplinary forms of analysis in religion, as well as all
those studying or interested in Mormonism and world religions.
Douglas J. Davies is Professor in the Study of Religion in the
Department of Theology, Durham University, UK. He is the author of
many books including Death, Ritual and Belief (Cassell, 1997),
Mormon Identities in Transition (Cassell, 1994), Mormon
Spirituality (1987), and Meaning and Salvation in Religious Studies
(Brill, 1984).
