Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • 02Walk.Tour.Guts
    North Downtown Heritage Tour The early history of Salt Lake City is dominated by the story of its Mormon settlers. These settlers came to Utah as a centrally-organized group dedicated to establishing their vision of a perfect society—the Kingdom of God on earth. Accordingly, there was no distinction between religious and secular life in early Salt Lake City. Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints directed the community’s economic life, shaped its social life, and even molded its family life. The north end of Salt Lake City’s downtown is a good place to view buildings and sites that reflect the city’s early Mormon heritage. Church leaders, cultural institutions, business enter- prises, and church offices tended to cluster near Temple Square, the geographic heart of the Mormon utopia. Within 20 years of Salt Lake City’s founding, the commu- nity began to diversify. The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 made it much easier for immigrants from around the world to reach Utah. Not all the people who settled in Salt Lake City fit the Mormon vision of members of a perfect society. Nor did these new immigrants always share the Mormon community’s goals. This tour also highlights some of the buildings and sites that represent Salt Lake City’s growth and diversification after its settlement period. Your walk through north downtown’s history will take about one hour. The tour ends on Main Street just one half block south of the starting point at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

  • One of the Great Strengths of the Church of Jesus Christ Of
    A Firm Foundation David J. Whittaker 28 Mormon Administrative and Organizational History: A Source Essay ne of the great strengths of The Church of Jesus Christ of O Latter-day Saints is its institutional vitality. Expanding from six members in 1830 to fourteen million in 2010, its capacity to govern and manage an ever-enlarging membership with a bureaucracy flexible enough to provide for communication and growth but tight enough to ensure control and stability is an important but little-known story. The essential functions of the Church were doctrinally mandated from its earliest years, and the commands to keep records have assured that accounts of its activities have been maintained. Such historical records created the essential informational basis necessary to run the institu- tion. These records range from membership to financial to the institu- tional records of the various units of the Church, from the First Presi- dency to branches in the mission field. David J. Whittaker is the curator of Western and Mormon Manuscripts, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, and associate professor of history at Brigham Young University. A Firm Foundation The study of Latter-day Saint ecclesiology has been a challenge until recently. As yet, the best studies remain in scholarly monographs, often unknown or unavailable. It is the purpose of this essay to highlight this emerging literature by complementing the essays assembled in this volume.

  • Looking Beyond the Borders of Mexico: Historian Andrew Jenson and the Opening of Mormon Missionary Work in Latin America
    Bray and Neilson: Looking Beyond the Borders of Mexico 1 Looking Beyond the Borders of Mexico: Historian Andrew Jenson and the Opening of Mormon Missionary Work in Latin America Justin R. Bray and Reid L. Neilson On July 11, 1923, Assistant Church Historian Andrew Jenson met at the office of the First Presidency in Salt Lake City, Utah, to report on his four- month, twenty-three-thousand-mile expedition throughout Central and South America from January to May of that year. Jenson, the foremost representa- tive of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to visit the countries south of the Mexican border since Elder Parley P. Pratt in 1851, had eager- ly waited for two months to give to Presidents Heber J. Grant, Charles W. Penrose, and Anthony W. Ivins his glowing assessment of Latin America as a potential missionary field.1 The journey through Latin America significantly differed from Jenson’s earlier overseas expeditions.
