READ [EBOOK] The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism (Oxford Handbooks)
Description of The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism (Oxford Handbooks)
Review '[T]his book reflects what it claims to reflect: the seemingly ever-accelerating shift away from the New Mormon History toward a far more diverse and eclectic study of the Mormon tradition. It presents the best of more traditional scholarship, and gestures toward the new, and even most of those essays that are more traditional in focus and scope, like Matthew J. Grow's 'The Modern Mormon Church,' point at their conclusion toward areas of future study and scholarship. It would serve as an invaluable resource for scholars interested in getting a handle on the state of the field, and will serve those more experience.' --Matthew Bowman, Religious Studies Review'The forty-one articles in this welcome compendium of knowledge and critical reflection enable the reader to understand how this process of steady enlightenment is taking place...This volume is cause for genuine rejoicing. There is no more efficient and authoritative guide to things Mormon. Designed for a readership of non-Mormons as well as Mormons, the Handbook is a striking step toward the more complete integration of the study of Mormonism into the study of American history, politics, society, and culture.'--Mormon Studies Review'The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism contributes considerably to the burgeoning field of Mormon studies. The essays are logically and neatly organized in the eight sections, yet each topic is distinct. The essays are current and should provide a valuable resource for those in Mormon studies, as well as for general readers interested in the open landscape of American and world religions.'--BYU Studies Quarterly'I strongly endorse The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism. On balance it is a serious (and successful) attempt to talk about Mormonism in a productive and meaningful manner.'--Interpreter'An exceptionally complete overview of scholarship on Mormonism Treating a wide range of important topics, this is a valuable resource on Mormonism.'--CHOICE'The authors represent a wish-list...The essays are thoughtful and reasoned...I am not aware of a similar collection of absolutely qualified authors..'--By Common Consent'...Givens and Barlow range far and wide to include a full stable of voices and points of view...' --The Deseret News 'The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism... is an excellent resource for both Mormons as well as scholars (or even casual observers) wishing to gauge current scholarship on the topic.' --Association for Mormon Letters 'As a reference, it is a terrific addition to any library, whether academic, public, or private. The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism is one of the best such handbooks and it will certainly be a useful starting point for years of research, thought, and discussion.' --Journal of Mormon History'This collection provides a valuable synthesis of Mormon theology and practice.'--Nova Religio Read more About the Author Terryl L.
