AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, written by a non-Mormon.

Additional information includes the Mormon religious worldview and how it has changed. The author points out particular problems and dilemmas that have affected the Mormon Church throughout the years of its growth.
