Covering its historic development, important individuals, and
central ideas and issues, this encyclopedia offers broad historical
coverage of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormonism: A Historical Encyclopedia helps readers explore a church
that has gone from being an object of ridicule and sometimes
violent persecution to a worldwide religion, counting prominent
businesspeople and political leaders among its members (including
former Massachusetts governor and recent presidential candidate
Mitt Romney). The encyclopedia begins with an overview of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—six essays cover the
church's history from Joseph Smith's first vision in 1820 to its
current global status. This provides a context for subsequent
sections of alphabetically organized entries on key events and key
figures in Mormon history. A final section looks at important
issues such as the church's organization and government, its
teachings on family, Mormonism and blacks, Mormonism and women, and
Mormonism and Native Americans. Together, these essays and entries,
along with revealing primary sources, portray the Mormon experience
like no other available reference work.
