In this volume, Terryl Givens and Philip Barlow, two leading scholars of\u003cbr\u003eMormonism, have brought together 45 of the top experts in the field to construct a collection of essays that offers a comprehensive overview of scholarship on Mormons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins with a section on Mormon history, perhaps the most well-developed area of Mormon studies. Chapters in this section deal with questions ranging from how Mormon history is studied in the university to the role women have played over time. Other sections examine revelation and\u003cbr\u003escripture, church structure and practice, theology, society, and culture. The final two sections look at Mormonism in a larger context. The authors examine Mormon expansion across the globe--focusing on Mormonism in Latin America, the Pacific, Europe, and Asia--in addition to the interaction between\u003cbr\u003eMormonism and other social systems, such as law, politics, and other faiths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together an impressive body of scholarship, this volume reveals the vast range of disciplines and subjects where Mormonism continues to play a significant role in the academic conversation. \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Mormonism\u003c\/em\u003e will be an invaluable resource for those within the field, as well\u003cbr\u003eas for people studying the broader, ever-changing American religious landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terryl L.
