Présentation de l'éditeur
Mormons boast of one hundred thousand adherents in this country, and more than ten thousand in Great Britain, where their faith is making rapid progress. This may be an exaggeration ;but, at all events, it is time the absurdities of their scheme were exposed. They are, in truth, the most dangerous and virulent enemies to our political and religious purity, and our social and civil peace, that now exist in the Union :not so much, however, on the ground of their direct, as of their indirect influence. The ravages in the front of their march are far less to be dreaded, than the moral pestilence which follows them. The bubbles of fanaticism, it is true, leap and sparkle around their prow, but the dull and sullen waves of atheism roll, and spread wide, in their wake behind. It has ever been true that they have made one hundred infidels to every dozen converts. This fact, has not been properly heeded. There is much reason to believe that many of their popular leaders are at heart infidels. Those who can believe that skeptical and ambitious men, who could not be converted to Christianity, have been really made to believe in Joe Smith, may do so if they choose. The multitudes who fall into their ranks and retire, are, in general, reduced to absolute atheism. Some are recovered again :many are not,but sink into still deeper and stronger delusions. In their public addresses, nothing is more common thaii to hear them defend the Book of Mormon, in promiscuous assemblies, by attacking and ridiculing the Bible, either directly or indirectly. Their object generally is to show that if the Book of Mormon is ridiculous, in whole or in part, the Bible is so too.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and rise of a new religious movement in the early 19th century, amidst a landscape of competing Christian denominations and burgeoning skepticism. The author meticulously traces the movement's history, from its roots in rural New York to its rapid expansion in Ohio and westward migration to Missouri. The narrative goes beyond a mere recounting of events, exploring the social and psychological factors that contributed to the movement's appeal. The author examines the role of charismatic leaders, visionary experiences, and the human desire for belonging and meaning in shaping the beliefs and practices of the movement's followers. Comparisons are drawn with other historical instances of religious enthusiasm, shedding light on the recurring patterns of human belief and the complex interplay between faith and reason. Central to the book's exploration is the tension between established Christian traditions and the movement's claims of divine revelation through new scriptures and prophetic figures. The author critically examines these claims, delving into the historical context of their emergence and their impact on the movement's development and interactions with other religious communities. Ultimately, the book's insights invite reflection on the enduring power of faith, the dynamics of religious innovation, and the challenges of navigating a pluralistic society in the face of competing truth claims. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331023579_0
