"IN A REVIEW OF Richard Lyman Bushman’s recent biography Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, a Cultural Biography of Mormonism’s Founder (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005), Jan Shipps describes the volume as the “crowning achievement” of “an intellectual movement that . . . seems to be rapidly passing into history.” She dates the movement’s origins to developments in the 1960s, including the establishment of the Mormon History Association and the founding of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. She traces its flourishing in the 1970s as well as its restriction and retreat in the 1980s and 1990s. This story has been told in secret code words for many years—both in forlorn footnotes longing for the bygone 'Camelot Era” and in weather beaten sighs about the “graying of the MHA.'" [Author]
