Abstract:

Polynesia has a particular place in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The region that heralded the Church’s first overseas missions includes seven of the world’s top ten nations in terms of the proportion of Mormons in the population, and it is home to six Mormon temples. The Polynesian Latter-day Saint population is increasing in both percentage and absolute numbers, and peoples in the Pacific “islands of the sea” continue to play a central role in the Mormon missionary imaginary. This article explores Polynesians in the LDS Church and critically eva

Abstract:

Abstract:It is common for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be considered one of the most conservative religious groups in the United States. What is less well understood is as to when the relationship between Mormonism and American conservatism began. While some historians point to the social upheavals in the 1960s and 1970s as the glue that united Mormons and conservatives, the connection began decades earlier during the Great Depression. Leaders of the Mormon Church interpreted Roosevelt’s New Deal as the fulfillment of eschatological prophecy. Envisioning themse

Abstract:

Recently, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has experienced unprecedented public attention in what has been termed “The Mormon Moment.” While there has been an increased media focus on the religion, research into how Mormons perceive that attention is lacking, especially regarding the attention directed toward recent political candidate Mitt Romney. The purpose of this research is to fill the gap by analyzing the Mormon community’s perspectives of Mitt Romney. The current study uses Q-methodology and personal interviews to access Mormon’s perceptions of the media and politics. Re

Abstract:

Abstract The present study explores how former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who are often referred to as Mormons, construct their identities. Framed in an interpretive narrative approach, 150 online exit stories of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that voluntarily left the Church were qualitatively analyzed. Findings reveal five prominent identities: (1) the disenfranchised victim, (2) the redeemed spiritualist, (3) the liberated self, (4) the (wo)men of science, and (5) the Mormon in name only. Results suggest that membership in the Chu

Abstract:

The article examines the last stages of migration to Utah of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormons (1869-1890 and 1890-1911). It is shown that Utah became the center of Mormon migration and colonization, where waves of newly converted Mormons from Western Europe, Canada and the eastern states of the United States rushed. The study made it possible to analyze the ideological rationale for resettlement, the ethnic composition of the settlers, the specifics of the development of the lands of the American West, the peculiarities of the migration of the Saints across

Based on an extensive source base, the authors distinguished two periods of Mormon preaching in the region: from the earliest religious associations in the largest Far-Eastern cities to the adoption of the Federal Law On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations, and from the peak of followers to 2004. The Mormons moved from north to south, i.e., to the urban centers of the Far-Eastern frontie

Abstract:

This article examines the ways in which the gendered religious schemas pertaining to career and motherhood are set up and reinforced by the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Church and how these schemas affect the everyday lives of Mormons. We show how gender, class, and region intersect and impact how religious individuals interpret gendered religious schemas. Analysis of qualitative interview data shows that for very religious men and women, the gendered cultural schemas of work and motherhood are distinct and tend to constrain women. Considering the intersections of class with gender, the analysis sh

Abstract:

In the winter of 1905, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. or the “Mormons”) departed Utah on two, seemingly disparate, missions to the east coast. One contingent went to defend their church at Senate hearings in Washington, D.C.; the other, to Vermont to dedicate a monument to church founder Joseph Smith. These forays into national politics and religious memory re-fashioned Latter-day Saint identity, as well as public perception of Mormonism, for the remainder of the twentieth Century They also illuminate one of the quotidian mysteries of religion: how it adapts

Abstract:

This essay engages with some of the experiences and metaphysics of Indigenous peoples who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism/LDS/the Church) by responding to their structural construction as “Lamanites”. Lamanites have been interpreted within Mormonism to be ancestors of various global Indigenous peoples of the “Americas” and “Polynesia”. This essay reveals how contemporary Indigenous agency by presumed descendants of the Lamanites, who embrace both an Indigenous and a Mormon identity, shifts the cosmology of the Church.

Abstract:

The Columbia Basin of Central Washington has a relatively recent Latter-day Saint history among the regions of the western states. Most of the sparsely populated rural areas in the west that have large concentrations of Latter-day Saints were originally established as "Mormon" settlements. The basin referred to lies between the Snake and Columbia Rivers and now has thousands of Latter-day Saints who have chosen to inhabit the historically barren land and call it their home. A brief visit or casual observance of the area leads many to question what were the major factors and characteristics lea

After her death, Jane James faded into obscurity until the late twentieth century, when she gained new fame. Mormons used her story to reimagine their church as racially diverse and Joseph Smith as racially egalitarian. For historians of American religion and others, James’s story gives the history of Mormonism from below and shows the limits of Mormonism’s democratizing impulse. It illustrates the variety of Mormon religious experience and shows the limits of focusing on temple rituals and priesthood. James’s Mormonism differed from that of other Latter-day Saints and thus illustrates how rac

In the years that followed, Musser became a leader in the emerging movement known as Mormon fundamentalism.

Abstract:

‘Mormonism’ explores the origins, progress, and official end of polygamy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Joseph Smith founded the church in 1830, and by the 1840s he was espousing a novel theology of marriage, including polygamy. Such claims about its righteousness met opposition immediately, including from his own wife, Emma Smith. Polygamy took hold among Mormon women as well as men, and it is interesting to ask why this is so. It is worth looking at the lived experience of plural marriage in Utah to find out why. The strong antipolygamy reaction provoked by the Mormons a

Doctrine and Covenants (1835) is the second of three works (along with Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price) by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Doctrine and Covenants is a collection of revelations given to Smith during the 1830s. The content of these revelations ranges from the organization and impetus of the church to specific commandments, such as the proper role and titles of individuals in the LDS church (who are commonly called Mormons), to various theological doctrines.
