Mormonism and American Culture

Because of its relatively recent origins, the Mormon tradition is an ideal case for studying a religion in the making. The Latter-day Saints also offer a unique window on how religions evolved under the U.S. Constitution’s system of the separation of church and state. Accordingly, this course focuses not only on the basics of Mormonism itself (its history, beliefs, and practices) but also on questions of wider significance in the study of American religion.0
