Recenzje

Neilson and Marianno have produced a book that will be a boon to both serious scholars of Mormonism and lay history buffs. Their thoughtful introduction lays out persuasive reasons why Jenson, even though not an LDS General Authority, significantly contributed to the integration of Mormon narrative history for lay members and to the shaping of Mormon institutional identify in the twentieth century as a global church. The detailed annotations and chapter prefaces that contextualize each of Jenson's twenty-eight general conference sermons reproduced in this volume constitute almost an underlying secondary book of early Mormon history snippets.
