[2009 Mormon Historical Association Winner for Article Award of Excellence]
The author explores the change in Mormon views of Jesus Christ from 1880 to 1930 as a microcosm of the shift in the Church's communal self-identity following the Federal Government's successful anti-polygamy campaign. The author argues that in transforming itself, the Church has borrowed imagery and language from American Protestants.
