Brief introductions describe the theological significance of each text and its reflection of the practices, issues, and challenges that have defined and continue to define the Mormon community. These documents balance mainstream and peripheral thought and religious experience, institutional and personal perspective, and theoretical and practical interpretation, representing pivotal moments in LDS history and correcting decades of misinformation and stereotype. The authors of these documents, male and female, not only celebrate but speak critically and question mainline LDS teachings on sexuality, politics, gender, race, polygamy, and other issues. Selections largely focus on the Salt Lake-based LDS tradition, with a section on the post-Joseph Smith splintering and its creation of a variety of similar yet different Mormon groups. The documents are arranged chronologically within specific categories to capture both the historical and doctrinal development of Mormonism in the United States.Latter Day Saint churchesHistorySourcesLatter Day SaintsCorrespondenceAmerican prose literatureMormon authorsLatter Day Saint churchesHistoryLatter Day SaintsAmerican prose literatureMormon authors.289.3/73Givens TerrylNeilson Reid L.1972-Taormina Michelle MarieMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814719903321The Columbia sourcebook of Mormons in the United States3941925UNINA
