Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Mauss' book analyzes the last 40 years of Mormon history from a sociological perspective, calling on a wide array of sources in sociology and history to show that Mormons, who had come a long way from their position as "outsiders" in a society dominated by the traditional religions, seem to be adopting more conservative ways and seeking a return to a more sectarian posture.

Mauss does a nice job of illuminating the origins of a trend many of us in the church have noticed in the last few decades. He shows how the right-wing, anti-intellectuals have no greater doctrinal support than others, but how they have seized control of many outlets that make their version of Mormonism seem normative.
Rating:  -
This is not a warm fuzzy, feel good, faith promoting book. It is a fair, objective, social science aproach to the LDS church.
Rating:  -
This book is an ignorant, biased view of a brief time period of the Latter Day Saints and their religious ways. I found the text to be abhorible, and was unable to complete the third chapter. I would highly suggest you not purchase this abomination, as it is a waste of paper and ink. I am glad that I only borrowed this book, and never conceived the dememnted thought of acquiring it from my local bookstore.
