Jan Shipps: A Social And Intellectual Portrait: How A Methodist Girl From Hueytown, Alabama, Became An Acclaimed Mormon Studies Scholar

How did Jo Ann Barnett--a Methodist girl born and raised in Hueytown, Alabama, during the Great Depression and World War II--come to be Jan Shipps, a renowned non-Mormon historian and scholar of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? In Jan Shipps: A Social and Intellectual Portrait, authors Gordon Shepherd and Gary Shepherd tell the story of how Shipps not only became an important and trusted authority in a field that was at the time predominantly made up of Mormon men, but also the crucial role she played in legitimizing Mormon Studies as a credible academic field of study.
