[email protected]. Postponing Heaven The Groundwork series places Mormon scrip- ture in dialogue with contemporary theory. By drawing on a broad range of academic disci- plines—including philosophy, theology, literary theory, political theory, social theory, economics, and anthropology—Groundwork books test both the richness of scripture as grounds for con- temporary thought and the relevance of theory to the task of reading scripture.
