The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has 6 million
members in the United States today (and 13 million worldwide). Yet,
while there has been extensive study of Mormon history,
comparatively little scholarly attention has been paid to
contemporary Mormons. The best sociological study of Mormon life,
Thomas O'Dea's The Mormons, is now over fifty years old. What is it
like to be a Mormon in America today? Melvyn Hammarberg attempts to
answer this question by offering an ethnography of contemporary
Mormons. In The Mormon Quest for Glory Hammarberg examines Mormon
history, rituals, social organization, family connections, gender
roles, artistic traditions, use of media, and missionary work. He
writes as a sympathetic outsider who has studied Mormon life for
decades, and strives to explain the religious world of the
Latter-Day Saints through the lens of their own spiritual
understanding. Drawing on a survey, participant observation,
interviews, focus groups, attendance at religious gatherings,
diaries, church periodicals, lesson manuals, and other church
literature, Hammarberg aims to present a comprehensive picture of
the religious world of the Latter-Day Saints.
