Zusammenfassung:
This study offers an in-depth analysis of the approaches taken to the Bible by major Mormon leaders, from its beginnings to the present. It shows that Mormon attitudes toward the Bible comprise an extraordinary mix of conservative, liberal, and radical ingredients: an almost fundamentalist adherence to the King James Version co-exists with belief in the possibility of new revelation and surprising ideas about the limits of human language. This exploration takes important steps toward unraveling the mystery of this quintessential American religious phenomenon.
