Jenson was an outsider to this conference tradition, a layman whose only standing before the main body of Latter-day\u003cbr\u003eSaints came from a contracted position with the Church Historian's Office. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForty-two years later, in April 1930, Jenson offered his twenty-eighth and final general conference sermon. He had become the voice of institutional record keeping in his over forty-year career as an Assistant Church Historian. His sermons demonstrated the growth and expansion of the Mormon general\u003cbr\u003econference tradition in the twentieth century, as they placed the Latter-day Saint story front and center for church members to learn from and celebrate. In addition, Jenson urged conference goers to keep better personal and institutional records and believed he was often the solitary advocate for\u003cbr\u003echurch record keeping and historical preservation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Voice in the Wilderness\u003c\/em\u003e presents all twenty-eight of Andrew Jenson's general conference sermons, with introductions and annotations that set them within their historical and religious contexts. His speeches capture a unique period in Mormon history, one of institutional change, accommodation, and\u003cbr\u003egrowth. This study of Jenson's sermons uncovers the richness and diversity that thrives just beneath the surface of official ecclesiastical discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reid Neilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190867829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReid Neilson\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Assistant Church Historian and Recorder and Managing Director of the Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScott Marianno\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Historian\/Writer for the Church History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40078470643827,"sku":"9.78019E+12","price":76.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_93bfc97e-fc47-489d-966f-8e1a800e53fa.jpg?v=1652191085","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/voice-in-the-wilderness-the-1888-1930-general-conference-sermons-of-mormon-historian-andrew-jenson-9780190867829","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
