Although often regarded as marginal or obscure, Mormonism is a
significant American religious minority, numerically and
politically. The successes and struggles of this U.S. born religion
reveal much about how religion operates in U.S. society. Mormonism:
The Basics introduces the teachings, practices, evolution, and
internal diversity of this movement, whose cultural icons range
from Mitt Romney to the Twilight saga, from young male missionaries
in white shirts and ties to polygamous women in pastel prairie
dresses. This is the first introductory text on Mormonism that
tracks not only the mainstream LDS but also two other streams
within the movement-the liberalized RLDS and the polygamous
Fundamentalists-thus showing how Mormons have pursued different
approaches to defining their identity and their place in society.
The book addresses these questions. Are Mormons Christian, and why
does it matter? How have Mormons worked out their relationship to
the state? How have Mormons diverged in their thinking about gender
and sexuality? How do rituals and regulations shape Mormon lives?
What types of sacred spaces have Mormons created? What strategies
have Mormons pursued to establish a global presence? Mormonism: The
Basics is an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to understand
this religion within its primarily American but increasingly
globalized contexts.
