interest in Mormon theology, history, texts, and practices-what
makes up the field now known as Mormon studies-has reached
unprecedented levels, making it one of the fastest-growing
subfields in religious studies. In this volume, Terryl Givens and
Philip Barlow, two leading scholars of Mormonism, have brought
together 45 of the top experts in the field to construct a
collection of essays that offers a comprehensive overview of
scholarship on Mormons. The book begins with a section on Mormon
history, perhaps the most well-developed area of Mormon studies.
Chapters in this section deal with questions ranging from how
Mormon history is studied in the university to the role women have
played over time. Other sections examine revelation and scripture,
church structure and practice, theology, society, and culture. The
final two sections look at Mormonism in a larger context. The
authors examine Mormon expansion across the globe-focusing on
Mormonism in Latin America, the Pacific, Europe, and Asia-in
addition to the interaction between Mormonism and other social
systems, such as law, politics, and other faiths. Bringing together
an impressive body of scholarship, this volume reveals the vast
range of disciplines and subjects where Mormonism continues to play
a significant role in the academic conversation. The Oxford
Handbook of Mormonism will be an invaluable resource for those
within the field, as well as for people studying the broader,
ever-changing American religious landscape.
