书名：American Zion: A New History of Mormonism《美国锡安：摩门教的新历史》
作者：Benjamin E. Park
简介：The first major history of Mormonism in a decade, drawing on newly available sources to reveal a profoundly divided faith that has nevertheless shaped the nation. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in the so-called burned-over district of western New York, which seemed to produce seers and prophets daily. Most of the new creeds flamed out; Smith’s would endure. How Mormonism succeeded―and how it has fundamentally shaped American culture―is the story told by historian Benjamin Park in American Zion . While most prior accounts of the Mormons treat them as a monoculture existing outside the main currents of American life, Park is one of the first to demonstrate that Mormonism became central to American views of religious liberty and minority rights―and that Mormonism has been riven by deep internal divisions over gender, race, and sexuality. An enthralling narrative account of this nation’s most important homegrown religion, American Zion will be seen as the definitive history of Mormonism for years to come. 55 images
