'Chapter 1 charts the history of the Mormon Church from its organization into the twenty-first century. Because the first three-quarter centuries of that history were characterized by tensions and conflicts with local populations, state militias, the federal government, and orthodox churches--all to a degree unprecedented in American history--Chapter 2 examines the several sources of friction characterizing those first generations. Chapter 3 is devoted to expounding Mormon religious doctrine, reviewing what is typically Christian in LDS theology and what is different and innovative. [Joseph] Smith produced not just one extrabiblical book of scripture, the Book of Mormon, but the core of two others as well, in addition to making substantial emendations to the text of the King James Bible. Chapter 4 considers the origin and content of those additions to the Christian scriptural canon. Subsequent chapters examine Latter-day Saint worship in terms of its three principal loci--home, church, and temple (Chapter 5); Mormonism's engagement with political and social issues of the modern day (Chapter 6); and the role of the arts and education in Mormon Culture (Chapter 7). Chapter 8 looks at some of the competing varieties in the Latter-day tradition; and considers the challenges and opportunities faced by Mormonism in the new Millenium, as it increases its international presence and provokes predictions of attaining world-faith status.'
