Product Description
This is the story of the Latter-day Saints, the story of when God came back to earth and started things over.In person. It may be the most confident message of God in centuries.Written with the non-Latter-day Saint reader firmly in mind, yet free of proselytory pretense, Latter Days goes right to the mind and heart of this religion, exploring an utterly unique catalogue of Christian doctrine regarding the purpose of human existence and destiny.It gives the Mormon story of the creation of this world and lays out what Mormons believe is the divine plan for mankind, from Adam to Noah to Christ to Joseph Smith to Brigham Young.It relates the astonishing story of their great Exodus, as they were driven from the supposedly civilized United States to the wilderness of the Salt Lake-a truly remarkable story that most of us were not taught in our high school history books.AUTHORBIO: A convert in his late teens to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Coke Newell graduated from the journalism program at Colorado State University. For most of a decade a media spokesman for the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, Utah, he has authored or contributed to a number of books and periodicals and has been quoted extensively on Church policy, history and doctrine. ...

An LDS Public Relations Hack Spins Mormon History
This review was done for the hardback edition (and is submitted here due to the fact that Amazon does not transfer reviews of the same title, hardcover to paperback).

This book is clearly a response to Mormon America: The Power and the Promise, by Richard and Joan Ostling. Now I will readily admit that this is a serious accusation, and that I will never be able to ever prove a thing, yet it has the "fingerprints" of the LDS Church public relations department all over the book. Consider the following,

* The author admits both on the dust jacket and in the preface that he works presently (as he has for nearly a decade) for the LDS Church as an "international public relations officer at world headquarters in Salt Lake City."

* The author in the acknowledgments thanks (and I quote) "At the headquarters offices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint: Brian D. Garner of the Church Educational System, and Ronald O. ("Omivorous") Barney of the Historical department for their close reading of the manuscript, sought for both to keep me accurate and to keep me employed...". This is clearly an admission that continued employment by the LDS Church requires that he not write anything that would displease his employers.

* At the end of the book is a "Selected Bibliography"; it should be called a "Selective Bibliography". Only two out of the 18 bibliographic references given were to non-Mormon publishers. AND, even at that, one of the two non-Mormon references was to The Encyclopedia of Mormonism published by Macmillan, but produced under the independent editorial control of Mormon apologist Daniel H. Ludlow (i.e. Macmillan gave Ludlow final say on what went to press). While BYU Studies was mentioned, Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Journal of Mormon History and Sunstone were omitted from bibliography. What makes the omission of Dialogue and Suntone odd is that the are mentioned in what passes for footnotes in 3-4 spots in the text (for example, Dialogue is cited on page 145n299, and then again on page 160n330; Sunstone is cited on page 165n339).

Yet what most clearly seems to identify this book as a reply to Mormon America is this remark on page xiv. "Those books written by outsiders to the Latter-day Saints' faith and employing a reasonable range of objectivity vary widely in their ability to get it right, to really comprehend LDS thought and doctrine...Those texts written by dissidents, or even by objective outsiders who surrender to some odd compulsion to get their "research" from the mouths of such dissidents, continually end up with the same dirty water, contaminated and dangerously unreliable. (Would you study Catholicism at the knee of a rabbi?)"

Admittedly, the endnotes in Mormon America that go on for 30 pages include "controversial facts and opinion" about LDS Church history and doctrine (included in their "For Further Reading" section, the Ostlings' include many titles about the same by faithful Latter-day Saints; nearly 6 full pages in all). Unlike the author of Latter Days however, the Ostlings' have more faith and trust in the intelligence of their readers.

Additionally, the treatment of two well-known figures from early Mormonism in Latter Days tipped me off to the author's inclination to distort historical fact for partisan religious advantage (and might I add, to the disadvantage of those that can no longer speak for themselves). The first figure is none other than Emma Hale Smith, the wife of Mormon Prophet and Founder, Joseph Smith. Beginning on page 130, the author writes, quoting an early LDS Church leader, "Many people have turned away from the truth because things did not come exactly to suit them...Emma Smith, for example." This is an unalloyed a slur against a woman who, like Hillary Clinton, stood by her man. And Emma was not merely "discomforted" (the adjective the author uses) with the principle of polygamy, she was diametrically opposed to the practice. Indeed, the women's organization (the Relief Society) was disbanded in part because it was being utilized to rally opposition against polygamy. The first president of the Relief Society? Emma Smith. And finally, in one final attempt (and a rather ghoulish one at that) to discredit Emma Smith, the author alleges that in her attempt to make a break from the LDS Church, she attempted to literally take her dead husband with her. And while Mary Fielding Smith, the widow of Hyrum Smith, Josephs' brother that was killed along with him at the same time, was not invited to a private reburial of the their bodies, she did know for a fact of the whereabouts. The primary consideration of Emma here was that the bodies of Joseph and Hyrum not be dug up and desecrated by their enemies.

The other individual that comes in for rough treatment is Oliver Cowdery, the scribe for Smith during the "translation" of the Book of Mormon, the Second Elder and Assistant President of the LDS Church. Starting on page 86, the author writes that "by midsummer, the threats to the church were not only external but internal. Four church officers, including...Oliver Cowdery were found profiting from funds designated for helping the poor incoming settlers, and excommunicated. In his own way, each began to retaliate." Since the author does not state who the other three church officers were, nor does he even so much as leave a citation to this unsubstantiated allegation, we the readers are left to wonder. Nor is the author any more specific about how "each began to retaliate."

Please, if you want to learn more about LDS Church history and doctrine, there are many titles available to choose from, even some by faithful, believing and observant members of the Church. One such book, The Mormon Experience: A History of Latter-Day Saints, by Leonard Arrington (now deceased) and Davis Bitton (and published by the more discriminating University of Illinois Press) available from Amazon, not only cost less (so you can do like I do and buy more books from Amazon), but is a more balanced account of LDS Church history and doctrine.

Very Readable and Informative
This book is an appealing review of both Latter Day Saint history and doctrines.It is written in a clear and familiar way.It has helped me articulate for others why I chose to join the Mormon church.

superb
This is an excellent read.Coke can paint a picture that draws you in.If you think his writing is good, he can keep you on the edge of your seat as an audience member.The man is gifted.

A GREAT BOOK TO ANY SERIOUS PERSON
i think its great that a book was finally written about our gloriuos faith!!!

The truth is revealed!!!

I am sick and tired of all these satanists and "Christians" telling us we are bad when we are so much better than them.
They dishonor the sabath, disgrace their bodies, swear, drink, smoke , and commit fornification so easily and then just "REPENT", No
Its is not a true repentence if you do it again and learn nothing from it!

GOOD JOB BROTHER NEWELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent but seriously flawed
This is an excellent presentation of what Mormons are taught to believe and what most do indeed still believe, worded in the sacred tone in which Mormons have learned to appreciate and revere it, but this is accomplished by injuring, skating past and ignoring various historical and scientific discoveries that unhappily disengage from important parts of the official story line. To get the most balanced perspective, the reader may want to read this alongside of that of another insider, Grant H. Palmer, whose more recent book, An Insider's View of Mormon Origins, conducts the reader on a backstage tour, explaining how the current extravaganza was put together over time. ... Read more

Good for deep background...
This book is one of the main sources for the Teachings of Presidents of the Church series that covered Brigham. Unlike for other prophets, the book covering him was meant to last two full calendar years. Now it's easy to see why. Even this book is simply a compilation of quotations, but it is filled with doctrinal gems. Brigham is a powerful witness for the Resurrection of Christ, and for the ability of Christ to change men's hearts. Particularly of interest (to me) was him discussing his conversion, which took close to three years of steady investigation. Here is a guy not afraid to ask questions. But where he goes for answers makes him an example.

A Classic in LDS Literature

Product Description
Winner of an Alpha Sigma Nu Book Award

The inability of American society to tolerate the peculiar institutions embraced by Mormons was one of the major events in the religious history of nineteenth-century America. Zion in the Courts explores one aspect of this collision between the Mormons and the mainstream: the Mormons' efforts to establish their own court system--one appropriate to the distinctive political, social, and economic practices they envisioned as Zion--and the pressures applied by the federal legal system to bring them to heel.

This first paperback edition includes two new introductory pieces in which the authors discuss the Mormon emphasis on settling disputes outside the court, a practice that foreshadows current trends toward arbitration and mediation. ... Read more

History or modern POV, I prefer history
I stopped read these reviews, prior to purchasing this for my father, one of a long line of Mormon lawyers. I read with care the review of Mr. Launius, and his disdainful commentary influencing my choice. When readers assume that their personal, or intellectual or historical point of view needs to trump the history of events, we generally find flawed history. Those books which analyse Mormon History fall prey to these abuses readily. As the subject is not one most readers understand, they are not able to judge fairly between gadflies who attack history based up their personal belief systems. A quick check on Mr. Launius name readily reveals he is not enamoured of conservative, clear and simple history. Nor does he have the legal qualifications to judge this kind of history. Beyond that, the criticisms are based upon arguments that do not stand up well to scrutiny. Those people who claimed they felt "fear" in the presence of Mormons,to the extent that the slaughtered them, or in the case of the Governor of Missouri, issued an extinction order against them, did everything possible not just to scare them out of the Western fringe of America, they forced them into that long Pilgrimage to Utah when so many died. It's pretentious at the least to claim that a people who fled, many of the dead of winter, their prophet slaughtered, the government against them, were in any way able to threaten the power structure of the time. As the notes to the book mention, church courts only covered spiritual matters; the law of the land covered everyone else as equally as possible.If one does the research or reads the history of the time, one finds that despite all the negative press, Mormon were some of the first to vote, were highly respected by Susan B. Anthony and her cohort, and even hidden away in the desert of Utah were forming a more equal society, with few poor or needy among them.There is a reason this religion is still growing so quickly today.

On the basis of these principles, and the writers knowledge of the era covered, I expect my father to enjoy it greatly.I will update this as I read it myself.

An Acceptable, but Flawed Analysis
"Zion in the Courts" is a pretty good analysis of the legal issues affecting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1830 to 1990. Both authors are fine scholars and bring a wealth of understanding to the subject. In the process they explore the legal history of the often rocky relationships between Mormons and other Americans. They also offer a discussion of internal Mormon legal actions such as ecclesiastical courts and during the pioneer Utah period, adjudication of water rights in the arid territory.

But Edwin Brown Firmage and Richard Collin Mangrum fall sway to the Mormon myth of "persecuted innocence." Indeed, the authors of "Zion in the Courts" fail to move beyond the interpretive framework prearranged to lean in a pro-Latter-day Saint direction. While there may be some room for permutations of interpretation, Latter-day Saint leaders have essentially drawn a line in the sand about what may and may not be considered as an interpretive framework and most historians have accepted it (or perhaps have never even considered going beyond it) because of their religious convictions. Those who have ventured too far, notably D. Michael Quinn and Lavina Fielding Anderson, have been excommunicated from the church.

As a result the authors of "Zion in the Courts," despite the book's other very real qualities, assume without any serious discussion the viability and justification of a Mormon theocracy, i.e., Zion. The authors assert that the zionic goal inevitably led to persecution endured by an innocent church through both legal and extralegal means. They wrote that "The story of the persecution Mormons suffered through the institutions of the legal system, and of their efforts to establish their own legal system--one appropriate to Zion... illustrates democracy's potential to oppress an insular, minority community;..." (p. xiv-xv).

The authors apparently believe that theocracy is both possible and desirable, but such a quest for empire mandates by this perspective would always run against the grain of the American mainstream, and legal institutions by definition would oppose it. Far from democracy's "oppression" of a minority, I would suggest, the nation's legal system would assert itself to defend the cherished principles of the Constitution against a perceived threat to liberty from a theocracy bent on taking control. Debate over whether or not liberty was really threatened by Mormon theocracy is moot, but undoubtedly non-Mormons considered the church's secular power a threat to the Constitution. The authors fail to appreciate the inherent tension between democracy and theocracy. They also seem not to appreciate that there might be other equally valid approaches toward Mormonism's zionic quest. For some it represented a spiritual condition where righteousness and justness were partners with goodwill and charity, a position that eschewed the secular, theocratic aspects that always created ill-will between Mormons and other Americans. Unfortunately, the authors of "Zion in the Courts" did not consider criticisms of Mormonism's quest for empire-- criticisms that were coherent, internally consistent, and deserving of serious consideration. They accept at face value the Mormon dialectic. As a result, "Zion in the Courts" represents both the worst and the best of the recent writing on the Mormon past.

A Great Book
This is the first, and to date the only, book that attempts to tell the 19th century legal history of the Mormon Church.The book is divided into three parts.The first section basically gives the legal history of the church during the life time of its founder Joseph Smith.The second section details the intensive persecution of the church by the federal government over the practice of plural marriage.The third section describes in detail the ecclesiastical court system that basically served all of the judicial needs of pioneer Mormons.This section in particular is fabulous.Firmage and Mangrum had incredible access to confidential church court records and the detail and scope of their treatment dwarfs any other work on the subject.

However the book is not without flaws.There are some gaps in the research.For example, the landmark Reynolds decision is dicussed in detail, but one gets the impression that the only documents consulted were the published legal ones (opinions and briefs).What about journals and letters by the participants?These sorts of gaps abound.

On the whole, however, this is a wonderful work.Law is one of the hitherto neglected regions of Mormon studies, and Mormon perspectives are among the hitherto neglected possibilities of legal studies.Despite a facinating legal history, Mormon historians have done compartively little on the subject.Likewise, despite Mormons at the highest levels of the legal establishment -- e.g., Rex E. Lee (Solicitor General) or Dallin H. Oaks (Dean of Chicago Law School) -- there have been compartatively few attempts at sustained and scholarly Mormon perspectives on the law.Anyone interested in providing such perspectives should read this book. ...

Product Description

Eminent historian Richard Lyman Bushman presents an engaging history of the Mormon religion that is full of intricate subplots and peculiar twists. He discusses the Book of Mormon's ambivalence toward republican government and its fascination with records, translation, and history, explores the culture of the Lamanites (the enemies of the favored people), and recasts Joseph Smith as an original thinker who offered the possibility of belief in a time of growing skepticism.Believing History is also a rare and honest confession in which Bushman reflects on his faith and ponders how scholars are to write about subjects in which they are personally invested. In this book, believers gain a whole new perspective on their religion, nonbelievers learn that Mormonism cannot be summed up with a simple label, and all are treated to a provocative and open look at a believing historian studying his own faith.

Bushman is Always Worth Reading
This is a nice little compilation of essays by Richard Bushman on the Book of Mormon and Mormonism in general. It's a bit dry at times, and follows no real theme (because it's a collection) but you'll be a better person for it.

For non-Mormons, I think you'll find it interesting to see how someone as obviously erudite as Bushman avoids all the clichés you've heard and probably helped spread about Mormons but still ends up a full believer in it. Like all religions, it takes many types and we only spread the worst interpretations.

great example of intellectual faith
Probably the best part of this book is the chapter in which Bushman tries to explain in a straightforward, sincere way why he believes in Mormonism and continues to devote his life to it, despite the areas of belief that cannot be intellectually understood.I consider that essay essential reading for every Latter-Day Saint that who tries to reconcile intellectual uncertainty and the spiritual stirrings of faith.For that matter, it is recommended for people of any religious background who struggle with that same thing.I think he exemplifies the way in which faith and spirituality can greatly complement reason and intellect, and that the process of intertwining them is deeply satisfying in a way that neither half can be on its own.

Believable Scholarship
One of the values of Professor Bushman's essays on the history of Mormons and Mormonism is that he is up front with the reader about his own views on the truth claims of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.He does not hide his commitment to the Church and its teachings, but is simultaneously honest about the facts he reports and the facts he does not know.Reading the essays is like sitting down over dinner with an intelligent friend who relates his own understanding with integrity and lays out the reasons for his analysis.Whether or not you accept the assertions of Joseph Smith about his experiences, Bushman notes, the evidence, of the kind that historians rely on for all other facts, shows that Smith himself spoke and acted consistently with HIM actually believing in the truth of his experiences.Similarly, whether or not you accept Bushman's conclusions on various issues, it is clear that Bushman himself has come honestly to his conclusions, while recognizing your right to disagree.His writing is lucid and does not conceal facts behind glittering generalities.Where facts are unclear he does not create a fictional version to satisfy our desire to speculate.Reading these essays, one wishes that more scholars who study the New Testament were willing to be similarly frank when they tell us their assessment of that collection of texts.

Great Book about Joseph Smith and the Histroy of The Latter-Day Saints
Bushman has written some very good essays over the years, which are compiled in this book.Previous to reading these essays, I read his most recent book, Rough Stone Rolling.Both of these books are great. Bushman does not tell you, the reader, what to think because of the events that happened many years ago.All that he does is report the history & report it in the context of what was happening at the time & the general attitudes of the peoples of America at the time history happened.This book is good for Member and Non Member of the LDS Faith. ...

Scholarly and comprhensive
This is an excellent book of a 19th century poet that not only provides a complete selection of her poems (some very obscure) but editorial comments fill out her life as well.

Comprehensive and long overdue
This book is an amazing work of scholarship combined with a clear love for the subject. Derr and Davidson have spent years collecting, reviewing, editing, and collating all of the poetry of Eliza R. Snow, one of the most influential women in the early LDS faith. These poems give valuable insights into the issues and concerns of the early Mormon pioneers, especially from the perspective of being an LDS woman. Eliza R. Snow was a prolific poet, and her works range from grand and profound to pedestrian, but all provide a snapshot into the thoughts of this remarkable woman and the lives of the people she lived and corresponded with. Like Wilford Woodruff, Eliza R. Snow was present at most of the pivotal events of the early LDS church, and she regularly recorded her thoughts and impressions in poetry in addition to diaries, sermons, and correspondence. Introductions to each poem add additional historical insight that make this book excellent for both the casual reader, readers interested in women's lives and issues in the 19th century, and scholars, especially those interested in examining first-hand experiences of 19th century LDS women. A full biography of this amazing woman is long overdue, and this work is an important first step in that direction. ... Read more
