One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church

One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church by Abanes, Richard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781568582832.

Founded in 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was initially perceived as a movement of polygamous, radical zealots; now in parts of the U.S. it has become synonymous with the establishment. In reevaluating its preoccupation with issues of church and state, Abanes uncovers the political agenda at Mormonisms core: the transformation of the world into a theocratic kingdom under Mormon authority. This illustrated edition has been revised and offers a new postscript by the author.
