A general history of the church with a distinctly modern tone. Contains a chapter or so on the Missouri conflict, on recent interal conflict, fundamentalists, and so on. The book's stated purpose is to 'explain the church's often contradictory character.' Traditional values of family and community in seeming opposition to 'clannish' Relief Society, Church's economic holdings, involvement in media, entertainment, real-estate, and agri-business.
