This handbook explores contemporary Mormonism within a global
context. The authors provide a nuanced picture of a historically
American religion in the throes of the same kinds of global change
that virtually every conservative faith tradition faces today. They
explain where and how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints has penetrated national and cultural boundaries in Latin
America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as in North
America beyond the borders of Mormon Utah. They also address
numerous concerns within a multinational, multicultural church:
What does it mean to be a Latter-day Saint in different world
regions? What is the faith's appeal to converts in these places?
What are the peculiar problems for members who must manage Mormon
identities in conjunction with their different national, cultural,
and ethnic identities? How are leaders dealing with such issues as
the status of women in a patriarchal church, the treatment of LGBTQ
members, increasing disaffiliation of young people, and decreasing
growth rates in North and Latin America while sustaining increasing
growth in parts of Asia and Africa?
