Nathaniel Wiewora uses the diverse animus expressed by evangelicals to illuminate how they used an imaginary Church as a proxy to disagree, attack, compromise, and settle differences among themselves. As Wiewora shows, the evangelical practice to contrast itself with the emerging faith not only encompassed but also went beyond religious matters. If Joseph Smith was accused of muddling religious truth, he and his followers also faced accusations of immoral economic practices and a sinful regard for wealth that reflected worries within the evangelical world. Attacks on Latter-day Saints' emotional religious displays, the Book of Mormon's authenticity, and the dangerous ideas represented by Nauvoo paralleled similar conflicts. Wiewora traces how the failure to blunt the Church's success led evangelicals to change their own methods and pursue the religious education infrastructure that came to define parts of the movement"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Evangelicalism $x History $x Latter Day Saint churches $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Latter Day Saint churches $x History $x Evangelicalism $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Anti-Mormonism $x History $y 19th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wiewora, Nathaniel, 1981- $t Sins of Christendom $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2024 $z 9780252055393 $w (DLC) 2023030773 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717030128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1342364084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
