Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP08~ [2.0P] An anthology of scholarly essays that explore how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints transitioned from a regional American faith to a globally recognized religious movement. The collection focuses on the post-World War II period, examining the factors behind the Church's unprecedented growth and increasing public prominence in politics, business, and popular culture. The book is organized into four main sections, with essays covering a variety of topics that illuminate the Church's recent history: Internationalization - The essays in this section discuss the challenges and adaptations the Church has faced as its missionary efforts have expanded globally. One chapter by Nathan B. Oman examines how international missions have shaped LDS views on secular government, while another by Taunalyn F. Rutherford details the Church's expansion into India. / Political culture: This section explores the increasing political influence of Mormonism in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. / Gender: Essays on gender roles and shifting cultural norms are also included in the collection. One chapter explores the 'soft patriarchy' often embraced by Mormons, while another looks at the intersection of public protest and gender issues, using the 'Ordain Women' movement as a case study. / Religious culture: This section addresses internal developments and cultural dynamics within the faith. It includes chapters on the Church's encounters with pluralism and its efforts to interpret its own complex history. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SP08-1052-15277

Paperback. Zustand: New. In the years since 1945, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has grown rapidly in terms of both numbers and public prominence. Mormonism is no longer merely a home-grown American religion, confined to the Intermountain West; instead, it has captured the attention of political pundits, Broadway audiences, and prospective converts around the world. While most scholarship on Mormonism concerns its colorful but now well-known early history, the essays in this collection assess recent developments, such as the LDS Church's international growth and acculturation; its intersection with conservative politics in recent decades; its stances on same-sex marriage and the role of women; and its ongoing struggle to interpret its own tumultuous history. The scholars draw on a wide variety of Mormon voices as well as those of outsiders, from Latter-day Saints in Hyderabad, India, to "Mormon Mommy blogs," to evangelical "countercult" ministries. Out of Obscurity brings the story of Mormonism since the Second World War into sharp relief, explaining the ways in which a church very much rooted in its nineteenth-century prophetic and pioneering past achieved unprecedented influence in the realms of American politics and international business.
