What is Mormonism?: A Student's Introduction (What is this thing called Religion?)

What is Mormonism? A Student's Introductionis an easy-to-read and informative overview of the religion founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. This short and lively book covers Mormonism's history, core beliefs, rituals and devotional practices, as well as the impact on the daily lives of its followers. The book focuses on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Salt Lake City-based church that is the largest and best-known expression of Mormonism, whilst also exploring lesser known churches and sects that claim descent from Smith's original revelations. Designed in particular for undergraduate religious studies and history students, What is Mormonism provides a reliable and easily digestible introduction to a steadily growing religion that continues to befuddle even learned observers of American religion and culture.
