Absurdities of Immaterialism Or, A Reply to T. W. P. Taylder's Pamphlet, Entitled, "The Materialism of the Mormons or Latter-Day Saints, Examined and Exposed."【電子書籍】[ Orson Pratt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Orson Pratt's 'Absurdities of Immaterialism' delves into a comprehensive critique of the concept of immaterialism, challenging traditional philosophical beliefs with meticulous analysis and logical reasoning. The book explores the absurdities and fallacies inherent in the idea of immaterial substances, presenting a compelling argument for a more tangible understanding of existence. Pratt's writing style is academic and methodical, drawing on both empirical evidence and intellectual thought to dismantle the foundations of immaterialism. The book is a refreshing departure from conventional philosophical discourse, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of reality and perception. Orson Pratt, a prominent figure in the Latter Day Saint movement, brings a unique religious and philosophical insight to the discussion of immaterialism. His background as a religious leader and theologian likely influenced his perspective on the topic, enhancing the depth and complexity of his arguments. 'Absurdities of Immaterialism' is essential reading for those interested in exploring alternative viewpoints on metaphysics and ontology, challenging readers to reconsider their beliefs and consider new possibilities in understanding the world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

The Story of the Mormons: from the Date of Their Origin to the Year 1901【電子書籍】[ William Alexander Linn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>According to Wikipedia: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often colloquially referred to as the Mormon Church, a term the organization itself discourages) is the largest denomination originating from the Latter Day Saint movement founded by Joseph Smith, Jr., on April 6, 1830. The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations (called wards or branches) worldwide. As of 2007, the church reported just over 13 million members on its rolls. Based on this number, it is the fourth largest Christian denomination in the United States. Adherentsーusually referred to as Latter-day Saints, LDS, or Mormonsーare restorationist Christians and are not a part of the Catholicism, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions. Like other Restorationist organizations, the LDS Church teaches that after the events described in the New Testament, there was a Great Apostasy, or "falling away" from the true Christian faith and priesthood. The church teaches that this true faith and priesthood were restored to Joseph Smith, Jr. through Smith's prophecy and the visitation of angels in the early 1800s. Thus, the church teaches that it is the only organization on the Earth with authority to conduct valid Christian sacraments ("ordinances") such as baptism or the Eucharist (called by LDS the "Sacrament"). The church also practices other sacraments, said to have been restored or instituted by Joseph Smith, such as Celestial marriage."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 132円

100 Bible Verses Mormons Misunderstand【電子書籍】[ Bill Grover ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book consists of four chapters: God and Christ in the Old Testament, God and Christ in the New Testament, Man and Salvation in the Old Testament, and Man and Salvation in the New Testament. The 100 verses in the Bible are spread over these chapters. Many other verses are referenced. Expositions of the Scriptures are included in the discussions and these expositions have the effect of demonstrating Mormon hermeneutical incompetence. Such incompetence is not due to lack of intelligence but to the Mormon duty to align Bible teaching with their prophet Joseph.

Children of a Northern Kingdom A Story of the Strangite Mormons in Wisconsin and on Beaver Island, Michigan【電子書籍】[ Elaine Stienon ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The novel relates the story of a group of non-polygamous Mormons who flee to the north when their prophet and leader, Joseph Smith Jr., is assassinated in 1844. Leaving their city of Nauvoo in Illinois, they make their way to Voree, Wisconsin, where a man named James Strang has declared himself to be their new prophet. Rusty Manning, a blacksmith, is part of this group, along with his wife Marie. Maries brother, Gabriel Romain, a physician, is the leader and driving force behind the group of friends. He gets them north to Wisconsin and eventually to Beaver Island in Lake Michigan, where they hope to be safe at last from persecution. Their years on the island, where James Strang proclaims himself king and begins to practice plural marriage; their trials and persecutions; and their unsuccessful attempts to pacify their neighbors are depicted and described. Unable to leave the island without abandoning all their material possessions, they are eventually driven out by the non-Mormons when Strang is assassinated. They are put on boats, with some separated from their families, and dispersed all along the Michigan and Wisconsin shorelines. The persecution and treatment of these Beaver Island Mormons is considered by most historians to be one of the darkest periods in Michigan history. How Rusty, separated from his wife and his family, finally manages to reunite with them is an integral part of the story.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Making Lamanites Mormons, Native Americans, and the Indian Student Placement Program, 1947-2000【電子書籍】[ Matthew Garrett ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Winner of the Juanita Brooks Prize in Mormon Studies</p> <p>From 1947 to 2000, some 50,000 Native American children left the reservations to live with Mormon foster families. While some dropped out of the Indian Student Placement Program (ISPP), for others the months spent living with LDS families often proved more penetrating than expected.<br /> The ISPP emerged in the mid-twentieth century, championed by Apostle Spencer W. Kimball, aligned with the then national preferences to terminate tribal entities and assimilate indigenous people. But as the paradigm shifted to self-determination, critics labeled the program as crudely assimilationist. Some ISPP students like Navajo George P. Lee fiercely defended the LDS Church before native peers and Congress, contending that it empowered Native people and instilled the <em>true</em> Indian identity; meanwhile Red Power activists organized protests in Salt Lake City, denouncing LDS colonization. As a new generation of church leaders quietly undercut the Indian programs, many of its former participants felt a sense of confusion and abandonment as Mormon distinctions for Native people faded in the late twentieth century.<br /> <em>Making Lamanites</em> traces this student experience within contested cultural and institutional landscapes to reveal how and why many of these Native youth adopted a new notion of Indianness.</p> <p>Winner of the Francis Armstrong Madsen Best Book Award from the Utah Division of State History.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,739円

Talking Doctrine Mormons and Evangelicals in Conversation【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Over the past two centuries relations between Mormons and evangelicals could at best be described as guarded and suspicious and at worst as antagonistic and hostile. In recent years, however, evangelicals and Mormons have frequently found themselves united against certain influences in societyーmilitant atheism, growing secularism, ethical relativism and frontal attacks on marriage, the family and religious liberty. With this background, a group of nine Mormon and ten evangelical scholars undertook a remarkable journey over a period of fifteen years to discuss differences and investigate possible common ground. The essays in this book reflect thoughtful, respectful and nuanced engagements on some of the most controversial topics that have inflamed passions in the past. Evangelical contributors include</p> <ul> <li>Craig Blomberg</li> <li>Christopher Hall</li> <li>Gerald McDermott</li> </ul> <p>Among the Mormon participants are</p> <ul> <li>Spencer Fluhman</li> <li>Camille Fronk Olson</li> <li>Grant Underwood</li> </ul> <p>They and thirteen others consider what they have learned about honest, frank and respectful dialogue while also taking up key doctrines for both communities. The results may surprise you as the nature of God, authority, grace and more are all discussed with both candor and generosity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,992円

Thirteenth Year in Zion Mormons Confront the Twenty-First Century【電子書籍】[ Duane Keown ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Growing up in Cortez, Colorado, I was only forty miles from the Utah border. What societal differences those forty miles represent. I was quite oblivious to the history of the settlement and the societies that developed in the two corners of Utah and Colorado until I became a student at Brigham Young University in 1958. With Thirteenth Year in Zion, the LDS confront science, the ideals of Americas separation of religion and government, and multicultural America. Chapters begin with a personal memoir from my time in Utah. The memoirs hold the readers interest. But the book is much more than personal memoirs. I use the stories of my encounters to tie with Mormon behaviors that for nearly two centuries have isolated the Saints from mainstream America</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

The third chapter toasts the Mennonite history of migration (Old Pi?a Colony), and the fourth is all about the trappings of Mennonite cultural identity (Singalong Sling).</p> <p>With seventy-seven recipes, ripping satire, comical illustrations, a cocktails-to-mocktails chapter for the teetotallers, and instructions on scaling up for barn-raisings and funerals, it’s just the thing for the Mennonite, Menno-adjacent, or merely Menno-curious home mixologist.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,388円

Mormons in America【電子書籍】[ Claudia Lauper Bushman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Mormonism is one of the world's fastest growing religions, doubling its membership every 15 years. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the formal denomination of the Mormon church) is now 10 million strong, with more than half of its membership coming from outside the United States. More than 88 million copies of The Book of Mormon have been printed, and it has been translated into more than 50 languages. <em>Mormons in America</em> tells the tumultuous story of this religious group, from its humble origins in small-town New York State in 1830 to its present heyday. Claudia and Richard Bushman introduce us to charismatic leaders like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, go deep behind Mormon rites and traditions, take us along the adventurous trail of the Mormon pioneers into the West, evoke the momentous erection of Salt Lake City in the desert, and draw us into the dozens of skirmishes, verbal attacks, and court battles between Mormons and their neighbors, other religions, the media, and the American government. Religion in American Life explores the evolution, character, and dynamic of organized religion in America from 1500 to the present day. Written by distinguished historians of religion, these books weave together the varying stories that compose the religious fabric of the United States, from Puritanism to alternative religious practices. Primary source material coupled with handsome illustrations and lucid text make these books essential in any exploration of America's diverse nature. Each book includes a chronology, suggestions for further reading, and an index.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,928円

Make Yourselves Gods Mormons and the Unfinished Business of American Secularism【電子書籍】[ Peter Coviello ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From the perspective of Protestant America, nineteenth-century Mormons were the victims of a peculiar zealotry, a population deranged??socially, sexually, even racially??by the extravagances of belief they called “religion.” <em>Make Yourselves Gods</em> offers a counter-history of early Mormon theology and practice, tracking the Saints from their emergence as a dissident sect to their renunciation of polygamy at century’s end.</p> <p>Over these turbulent decades, Mormons would appear by turns as heretics, sex-radicals, refugees, anti-imperialists, colonizers, and, eventually, reluctant monogamists and enfranchised citizens. Reading Mormonism through a synthesis of religious history, political theology, native studies, and queer theory, Peter Coviello deftly crafts a new framework for imagining orthodoxy, citizenship, and the fate of the flesh in nineteenth-century America. What emerges is a story about the violence, wild beauty, and extravagant imaginative power of this era of Mormonismーan impassioned book with a keen interest in the racial history of sexuality and the unfinished business of American secularism.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,311円

No Place for Saints Mobs and Mormons in Jacksonian America【電子書籍】[ Adam Jortner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The emergence of the Mormon church is arguably the most radical event in American religious history. How and why did so many Americans flock to this new religion, and why did so many other Americans seek to silence or even destroy that movement?</strong></p> <p>Winner of the MHA Best Book Award by the Mormon History Association</p> <p>Mormonism exploded across America in 1830, and America exploded right back. By 1834, the new religion had been mocked, harassed, and finally expelled from its new settlements in Missouri. Why did this religion generate such anger? And what do these early conflicts say about our struggles with religious liberty today? In <em>No Place for Saints</em>, the first stand-alone history of the Mormon expulsion from Jackson County and the genesis of Mormonism, Adam Jortner chronicles how Latter-day Saints emerged and spread their faithーand how anti-Mormons tried to stop them.</p> <p>Early on, Jortner explains, anti-Mormonism thrived on gossip, conspiracies, and outright fables about what Mormons were up to. Anti-Mormons came to believe Mormons were a threat to democracy, and anyone who claimed revelation from God was an enemy of the people with no rights to citizenship. By 1833, Jackson County's anti-Mormons demanded all Saints leave the county. When Mormons refusedーciting the First Amendmentーthe anti-Mormons attacked their homes, held their leaders at gunpoint, and performed one of America's most egregious acts of religious cleansing.</p> <p>From the beginnings of Mormonism in the 1820s to their expansion and expulsion in 1834, Jortner discusses many of the most prominent issues and events in Mormon history. He touches on the process of revelation, the relationship between magic and LDS practice, the rise of the priesthood, the questions surrounding Mormonism and African Americans, the internal struggles for leadership of the young church, and how American law shaped this American religion. Throughout, <em>No Place for Saints</em> shows how Mormonismーand the violent backlash against itーfundamentally reshaped the American religious and legal landscape. Ultimately, the book is a story of Jacksonian America, of how democracy can fail religious freedom, and a case study in popular politics as America entered a great age of religion and violence.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,452円

On Zion’s Mount Mormons, Indians, and the American Landscape【電子書籍】[ Jared Farmer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Shrouded in the lore of legendary Indians, Mt. Timpanogos beckons the urban populace of Utah. And yet, no “Indian” legend graced the mount until Mormon settlers conjured itーonce they had displaced the local Indians, the Utes, from their actual landmark, Utah Lake. <em>On Zion’s Mount</em> tells the story of this curious shift. It is a quintessentially American story about the fraught process of making oneself “native” in a strange land. But it is also a complex tale of how cultures confer meaning on the environmentーhow they create homelands.</p> <p>Only in Utah did Euro-American settlers conceive of having a homeland in the Native American senseーan endemic spiritual geography. They called it “Zion.” Mormonism, a religion indigenous to the United States, originally embraced Indians as “Lamanites,” or spiritual kin. <em>On Zion’s Mount</em> shows how, paradoxically, the Mormons created their homeland at the expense of the local Indiansーand how they expressed their sense of belonging by investing Timpanogos with “Indian” meaning.</p> <p>This same pattern was repeated across the United States. Jared Farmer reveals how settlers and their descendants (the new natives) bestowed “Indian” place names and recited pseudo-Indian legends about those placesーcultural acts that still affect the way we think about American Indians and American landscapes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,419円

Why I Stay The Challenges of Discipleship for Contemporary Mormons【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Mormonism is a community with two faces: progressive and conservative. This is true of nearly all faith traditions, which can be alternately open or defensive, traditional or innovative, accepting or judgmental. In the case of the LDS Church, it continues, a century after having shaken off the stigma of polygamy, three decades after embracing blacks as equals, and in the face of international growth, to wrestle with freeing itself from its past insularity. In doing so, it will find its place within the larger religious world and its accommodation to the challenges of modernism.</p> <p>This all represents a challenge for individual members, especially for artists, scholars, and independent thinkers. The poet Robert Haas has made a distinction between religion, which is “communal worship centered on shared ideas of the sacred,” and spirituality, which “has to do with the individual soul’s struggle with its own meaning.” In this anthology, sixteen Latter-day Saints explain how they balance the demands of religion and spirituality in the modern Church. It brings to mind the example of LDS educator Lowell Bennion who offered the image of carrying water on both shoulders to explain the binary nature of balancing faith with reason, institutional commitment with individual integrity, obedience with love.</p> <p>It is encouraging to discover so many Latter-day saints who, the editor writes, “neither stay with their faith blindly nor leave it rebelliously, but rather choose to struggle with challenges and strive for a more mature discipleship.” The contributors to this anthology are Lavina Fielding Anderson, Mary Bradford, William Bradshaw, Claudia L. Bushman, Fred Christensen, Lael Littke, Armand Mauss, Chase Peterson, Grethe Peterson, J. Frederick “Toby” Pingree, Gregory Prince, Robert A. Rees, Tom Rogers, William D.

Clogs and Shawls Mormons, Moorlands, and the Search for Zion【電子書籍】[ Ann Chamberlin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this revealing family memoir, best-selling author Ann Chamberlin explores the history of her Mormon grandmother Frances Lyda and her seven sisters who grew up desperately poor in Bradford, Yorkshire, in the early years of the twentieth century. Chamberlin’s narrative follows these eight daughters of Mary Jane Jones and Ralph Robinson Whitaker, a remarkably gifted yet poor and blind piano tuner. Most of the girls were forced by necessity to abandon school at age twelve and find work in terrible conditions at a local factory. When their mother converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1901, she became the backbone of the Mormon community in Yorkshire. Her daughters followed their mother into her faith, while navigating their own, sometimes tragic, ways into adulthood, family, and the world beyond industrial England. Though they were exploited and undereducated, the girls maintained a steadfast belief in a brighter future for the Mormon faithful, a mindset that, despite their many differences, forged an unshakable togetherness between them. All gifted and strong individuals in their own right, many of the Whitaker sisters overcame long odds and incredible hardships to carry on and prosper in Salt Lake City.</p> <p>Chamberlin interviewed her grandmother and six of her surviving great-aunts for <em>Clogs and Shawls</em>, the relatives who had made their way to Mormon Zion. She weaves novelistic passages with their first-person narratives to create a singular work of oral immigrant family history that is both lively and revealing.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,136円

Quand il pousse la porte, l'horreur l'attend : Brenda et sa petite fille ont ?t? sauvagement ?gorg?es. En un instant, Allen est convaincu qu'il conna?t les coupables. Et pour cause, ce sont ses fr?res.</p> <p>? la barre des mois plus tard, Ron et Dan Lafferty ne nieront pas les faits. Pas plus qu'ils n'exprimeront le moindre remords. Les deux Lafferty sont des proph?tes, Dieu parle ? travers eux, il leur chuchote ses ordres. Pour eux, l'?tat n'existe pas. L'?cole ? Une machination. La m?decine ? Un charlatanisme. Ron et Dan Lafferty ont quitt? le giron des mormons pour embrasser une foi chr?tienne radicale, dont l'un des piliers n'est autre que la polygamie. Et Brenda Lafferty avait commis l'erreur d'y ?tre oppos?e...</p> <p>Revenant sur les grandes heures de la fondation de la religion mormone et l'?pineux dossier des sectes transfuges qu'elle a fait na?tre dans ses rangs, le ma?tre de la narrative non fiction interroge les ressorts du fanatisme religieux et exhume l'une des affaires criminelles les plus retentissantes de l'histoire am?ricaine des derni?res d?cennies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,870円

Desert Between the Mountains Mormons, Miners, Padres, Mountain Men, and the Opening of the Great Basin, 1772-1869【電子書籍】[ Michael S. Durham ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>On July 24, 1847, a band of Mormon pioneers descended into the Salt Lake Valley. Having crossed the Great Plains and hauled their wagons over the Rocky Mountains, they believed that their long search for a permanent home had finally come to an end. The valley was an arid and inhospitable place, but to them it was Zion.</p> <p>They settled on the edge of an immense, uncharted, and self-contained region covering over 220,000 square miles, or one-fifteenth of the area of the United States. The early-nineteenth-century explorer John Charles Fremont had just aptly named this region the Great Basin because its lakes and rivers have no outlet to the sea: its waters course down the mountains and disappear into the desert. Here, in a land that few others wanted, the Mormons hoped to live and worship in peace.</p> <p>Within ten years of their arrival, the Mormons had established nineteen communities, extending all the way to San Diego, California--a remarkable feat of colonization and one of the great successes of the westward movement. <em>Desert Between the Mountains</em> is by no means, however, a story of splendid and stoic isolation. Beginning with an explanation of the Great Basin's unique and enigmatic topography, Michael S. Durham delineates the region as a crucible for a complex and exciting narrative history. Tales of nomadic Indian tribes, Spanish ecclesiastics, intrepid furtrappers, and adventurous early explorers are brilliantly and thoroughly chronicled. Moreover, Durham depicts the Mormon way of life under the constant strain from its interaction with miners, soldiers, mountain men, the Pony Express, railroad builders, federal officials, and an assortment of other so-called Gentiles.</p> <p>Durham vigorously explores the dynamics of this important chapter of American history, capturing its epic sweep, its near biblical mayhem, and its unforgettable characters in an illuminating and provocative account. <em>Desert Between the Mountains</em> concludes with the joining of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory, Utah, in 1869, an event that marked the end of the pioneer era. This is a dramatic, multifaceted, and definitive study of the Great Basin, demonstrating, for the first time, that it is a region unified in its history as well as its geography--that today includes all of Nevada, most of Utah, and parts of five other surrounding states.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,089円

The Angel and the Sorcerer The Remarkable Story of the Occult Origins of Mormonism and the Rise of Mormons in American Politics【電子書籍】[ Peter Levenda ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Based on Levenda’s research into Mormonism, Freemasonry, and esoteric societies over the past thirty years, this book is intended for an audience that is curious about Mormonism in light of the fact that at the beginning of 2012 there were two Mormons running for the GOP presidential nomination against two Roman Catholics.</p> <p>There has been much confusion in the media over various Mormon phenomena, such as the “magic underwear,” polygamy “Big Love” style, and much else. This book examines the beliefs and reveals the facts of Mormon ideas and practice, starting with its founder Joseph Smith Jr. who began his religious career with rituals of ceremonial magic and divination, and ended it with Freemasonry, the largest militia in the state of Illinois, a candidacy for US president, and assassination. Levenda also discussed the Mormons connection to Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon and Watergate as well as the role of Mormons in contemporary Presidential elections.</p> <p>This is the fascinating story of a purely American religion, its occult origins, and the rise of Mormons in American politics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,209円
