Mormonism is one of the world's fastest growing religions, doubling its membership every 15 years.

Mormonism: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780195310306 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Beginning with a handful of members in 1830, the church that Joseph Smith founded has grown into a world-wide organization with over 12 million adherents, playing prominent roles in politics, sports, entertainment, and business. Yet they are an oddity. They are considered wholesome, conservative, and friendly on one hand, and clannish, weird, and self-righteous on the other. Mormonism: A Very Short Introduction explains who Mormons are: what they believe and how they live their lives. Written by Richard Lyman Bushman, an eminent historian and practicing Mormon, this compact,...

Believing History: Latter-Day Saint Essays
ISBN: 9780231130073 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The eminent historian Richard Bushman here reflects on his faith and the history of his religion. By describing his own struggle to find a basis for belief in a skeptical world, Bushman poses the question of how scholars are to write about subjects in which they are personally invested. Does personal commitment make objectivity impossible? Bushman explicitly, and at points confessionally, explains his own commitments and then explores Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon from the standpoint of belief. Joseph Smith cannot be dismissed as a colorful fraud, Bushman argues, nor seen...

The Great Awakening: Documents on the Revival of Religion, 1740-1745
ISBN: 9780807842607 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most twentieth-century Americans fail to appreciate the power of Christian conversion that characterized the eighteenth-century revivals, especially the Great Awakening of the 1740s. The common disdain in this secular age for impassioned religious emotion and language is merely symptomatic of the shift in values that has shunted revivals to the sidelines.
The very magnitude of the previous revivals is one indication of their importance. Between 1740 and 1745 literally thousands were converted. From New England to the southern colonies, people of all ages and all ranks of society...

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age thirty-eight. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations.

King and People in Provincial Massachusetts
ISBN: 9780807843987 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The American revolutionaries themselves believed the change from monarchy to republic was the essence of the Revolution. King and People in Provincial Massachusetts explores what monarchy meant to Massachusetts under its second charter and why the momentous change to republican government came about.
Richard L. Bushman argues that monarchy entailed more than having a king as head of state: it was an elaborate political culture with implications for social organization as well. Massachusetts, moreover, was entirely loyal to the king and thoroughly imbued with that...

From Puritan to Yankee: Character and the Social Order in Connecticut, 1690-1765
ISBN: 9780674325517 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The years from 1690 to 1765 in America have usually been considered a waiting period before the Revolution. Mr. Bushman, in his penetrating study of colonial Connecticut, takes another view. He shows how, during these years, economic ambition and religious ferment profoundly altered the structure of Puritan society, enlarging the bounds of liberty and inspiring resistance to established authority. This is an investigation of the strains that accompanied the growth of liberty in an authoritarian society. Mr. Bushman traces the deterioration of Puritan social institutions and the...

The Refinement of America: Persons, Houses, Cities
ISBN: 9780679744146 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This lively and authoritative volume makes clear that the quest for taste and manners in America has been essential to the serious pursuit of a democratic culture. Spanning the material world from mansions and silverware to etiquette books, city planning, and sentimental novels, Richard L. Bushman shows how a set of values originating in aristocratic court culture gradually permeated almost every stratum of American society and served to prevent the hardening of class consciousness. A work of immense and richly nuanced learning, The Refinement of America newly illuminates every facet...

Rube Goldberg Machines: Essays in Mormon Theology
ISBN: 9781589585133 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Book Description: Doing theology is like building a comically circuitous Rube Goldberg machine: you spend your time tinkering together an unnecessarily complicated, impractical, and ingenious apparatus for doing things that are, in themselves, simple. But there is a kind of joy in theology's gratuity, there is a pleasure in its comedic machination, and ultimately-if the balloon pops, the hamster spins, the chain pulls, the bucket empties, the pulley lifts, and (voila ) the book's page is turned-some measurable kind of work is accomplished. But this work is a byproduct. The...
