About This Item
Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1985. First Edition. 211pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Brown cloth with the title gilt stamped on the spine. Fine/Fine. Nice copy of Shipp's well received first work on the LDS Church, that is still highly regarded.
"This book tells the story of yet another assembly of saints whose history, I believe, is in many respects analogous to the history of those early Christians who thought at first that they had found the only proper way to be Jews. Despite the surprising similarity between some of the modern cultural manifestations of Mormonism and American evangelical Protestantism, Mormonism started to grow away from traditional Christianity almost immediately upon coming into existence." - from the Preface.
