The author is an ordained clergyman in The Church of England, and a teacher at the University of Nottingham. He studies Mormonism as an anthropoligist. Here he uses the Millennial Star to extend local British developments into 'wide themes of universl concern.' 'Many students of Mormonism stress a sociological or historical perspective or else argue fervently against the religion. My concern is to provide a far more descriptive form of analysis which expresses my own experience of Mormonism over a period of seventeen or so years. . . . In this book I have also engaged in some comparative theology to show even more clearly how Mormon thought is related to life and to ultimate values.'
