In "The Little Book of Mormon," eleven experts explain the history, beliefs, and rituals of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which originated in the United States in the 1840s and has since faded in and out of public consciousness—and public controversy. Now, as a Mormon politician attempts to gain his party's nomination as a US presidential candidate, global citizens need to know more about Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints than mainstream media (or Broadway) can provide. "The Little Book of Mormon" includes articles from scholars whose interests in the faith range from historical perspectives on persecution to modern-day analyses of church–state relations and conflicting ideologies about the environment, peace, pacifism, justified violence, and war.
