"Following an introductory background and hermeneutical consideration of the problematic concept of 'invented tradition' as applied specifically to religious groups, this chapter considers ideological, textual, and ritual forms of Mormonism's sacred tradition before closing with reflection upon the nature of history and of Mormonism's future as frames for 'tradition.'"
