"As is well known, the state of Utah was created under trying circumstances. Settled by religious refugees, the territory was at first governed by a people who resented the intrusion of the United States and who recognized no wall dividing church and state. This is the legacy that the contemporary state has inherited. As subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) as the influences of the past can be, the overall impact of religion in Utah from the founding period to the present has been enormous. In this anthology, fourteen prominent men and women, whose diverse backgrounds in politics, history, and religion more than qualify them as experts, attest to this fact. Each interprets the state of religion and politics with a clear, informed perspective, with reassurances and warnings. As the editor notes, there is an element of endearment in the tone of these essays; they are written by people who live in the state and clearly love her and care about the overall health and well being of her citizens."
