A Kingdom Transformed: Early Mormonism and the Modern LDS Church

Salt Lake City, UT: University of Utah Press, 2016. First revised edition. Paperback. New. 406pp. Octavo [23 cm] in wraps. "This is a revised and updated edition of a unique 1984 study in the application of sociological analysis to Mormon history. By now a classic, its use of general conference rhetoric to trace the 'transformation of the Kingdom' has been well validated in the interim, both by historical events and by other studies baded on very different kinds of data." --Armand L. Mauss.
