Under The Prophet In Utah The National Menace Of A Political Priestcraft

Beschreibung

"Under the Prophet in Utah" is a historic paintings authored by using Frank J. Cannon and Harvey Jerrold O'Higgins. This book offers a completely unique and vital attitude at the religious and social landscape of Utah in the course of the late 19th and early twentieth centuries. Frank J. Cannon, a former United States Senator from Utah, and Harvey Jerrold O'Higgins offer an insider's view of the country's complex non-secular and political dynamics, with a selected recognition at the impact of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its chief on the time, Joseph F. Smith. The book discusses the theocratic control exercised by way of the LDS Church over Utah and its residents, losing light at the demanding situations faced via non-Mormon citizens, normally called "Gentiles," who frequently skilled discrimination and disenfranchisement. It delves into problems together with polygamy, economic dominance, and theocratic rule. "Under the Prophet in Utah" is terrific for its candid and occasionally debatable portrayal of Mormonism and its leaders. The authors recount their personal studies and interactions with outstanding figures within the LDS Church, imparting a firsthand account of the complexities and controversies surrounding the Church's practices and its effect on the broader network.
