'This article explores various aspects of Latter-day Saint millennarianism as an aid to identifying and understanding some of the unique features of....[the early Saints'] thought world.' (p. 41) It emphasizes discontinuities between the past and present. It concludes: 'Mormons of today are in some ways quite different from their pioneering predecessors. Modern Mormon perceptions of society tend to be more pluralized than polarized, their ideas of judgment more other-worldly than this-worldly, and their feelings of imminence less intense. Furthermore, the conceptions of Zion, the gathering, and the 'voice of warning' have greatly expanded and have largely been shorn of their apocalypticism. Even more striking is the extent to which the early Saints, like the prophets of the Old Testament, accentuated the judgments and retribution which would accompany the Lord's advent.' All this suggests the passing or modification of the strong millennialism of the first generation.
