"In this article, I want to explore the possibility that apostasy is better understood as a modern development that coincides with the emergence of 'philosophical materialism,' that is to say, the idea that all of life can be explained through a scientific reductionist lens as nothing more than indifferent particles and forces. This view of the Apostasy points to a different understanding of the Restoration than the one with which most Mormons are familiar. Instead of a re-creation of an ancient way of life through imitation, the Restoration under a materialist apostasy is an attempt to translate an ancient way of life into a new, modern context."
