In the years since 1945, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints has grown rapidly in terms of both numbers and public
prominence. Mormonism is no longer merely a home-grown American
religion, confined to the Intermountain West; instead, it has
captured the attention of political pundits, Broadway audiences,
and prospective converts around the world. While most scholarship
on Mormonism concerns its colorful but now well-known early
history, the essays in this collection assess recent developments,
such as the LDS Church's international growth and acculturation;
its intersection with conservative politics in recent decades; its
stances on same-sex marriage and the role of women; and its ongoing
struggle to interpret its own tumultuous history. The scholars draw
on a wide variety of Mormon voices as well as those of outsiders,
from Latter-day Saints in Hyderabad, India, to "Mormon Mommy
blogs," to evangelical "countercult" ministries. Out of Obscurity
brings the story of Mormonism since the Second World War into sharp
relief, explaining the ways in which a church very much rooted in
its nineteenth-century prophetic and pioneering past achieved
unprecedented influence in the realms of American politics and
international business.
