"To comprehend the emergence of modern Mormonism as a growing international religion, it is essential to comprehend the missionary theology and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For missionary religions to expand and flourish, they must effectively appeal to the religious aspirations of some segment of a “religious economy.” An active religious economy can exist when religious freedom, and therefore religious choice, is countenanced by the political institutions of the state. Where religious choice is possible and competition among different denominations for adherents is allowed by political authorities, we may speak of a religious market. As in other market economies, action in a religious economy is shaped by both supply and demand. In this chapter, primary emphasis is given to the supply side of the religious equation, namely the institutional resources and human capital invested in the LDS missionary enterprise." [Author]
