In People of Paradox, Terryl Givens traces the development of Mormon culture from the days of Joseph Smith in upstate New York, to the global spread of the Latter-Day Saints. Here is a religion shaped by an authoritarian hierarchy and individualism, intellectual investigation, existence in exile and a yearning for acceptance by the larger world.
