This article discusses the shift from "Old Mormon History" to "New Mormon History," along with the changes in culture and values that accompanied it.
"History is one of civilization’s most important service enterprises. The ends which it serves shift according to the shifting values of people. The New Mormon History is a response to such shifting values. Latter-day Saints, like many people of different faiths and persuasions, increasingly seek the services of a history that will aid them in ending their isolation; a history that will help dissolve arcane enmities and offer their children a tradition which is less parochial, less tribal, more humane, more universal. Here is the real meaning of the New History as an ecumenical history. It does not suggest that people of good will should not differ, but rather that people of good will should seek a mature understanding of their differences and of their commonwealth." [Author] -
