Mormonism, Adventism, and Jehovah's Witnesses are the three great American religions of the nineteenth century. Although they started out as radical groups led by charismatic prophets, each ultimately followed a different trajectory of opposition and accommodation to US mainstream society. Adventist and Witness missionaries arrived in Latin American countries in the late 1890s, but Mormonism first had to redefine its core doctrine before President McKay defined international expansion as a key goal. Here, Gooren summarizes the patterns of growth of the three religions.
