Of the many sects created by nineteenth-century millennial revivalism in the United States, the Mormon Church alone not only survived, but has flourished in contemporary America. How and why is the theme of this study by Thomas F. O’Dea, professor of sociology at the University of Utah.
“…a penetrating study of the Mormons by a Catholic scholar. …Throughout, the author has striven to combine intellectual objectivity with intelligent human sympathy. He has succeeded magnificently.”—Leland H. Creer, Mississippi Valley Historical Review.
“…perhaps the most sagacious book about the ‘peculiar people’ yet written.”—Dale L. Morgan, Saturday Review.
“The entire story of the Mormons in all its phases bristles with controversial issues that make it one of the most interesting strands of American history and that demands for adequate exposition and interpretation precisely the kind of judicious temper in which Dr. O’Dea has approached them.”—Winfred E. Garrison, Journal of Bible and Religion.
