Late one night in 1823 Joseph Smith, Jr., was reportedly visited in his family's farmhouse in upstate New York by an angel named Moroni. According to Smith, Moroni told him of a buried stack of gold plates that were inscribed with a history of the Americas' ancient peoples, and which would restore the pure Gospel message as Jesus had delivered it to them. Thus began the unlikely career of the Book of Mormon, the founding text of the Mormon religion, and perhaps the most important sacred text ever to originate in the United States. Here Paul Gutjahr traces the life of this book as it has formed and fractured different strains of Mormonism and transformed religious expression around the world. Gutjahr looks at how the Book of Mormon emerged from the burned-over district of upstate New York, where revivalist preachers, missionaries, and spiritual entrepreneurs of every stripe vied for the loyalty of settlers desperate to scratch a living from the land. He examines how a book that has long been the subject of ridicule--Mark Twain called it "chloroform in print"--has more than 150 million copies in print in more than a hundred languages worldwide. Gutjahr shows how Smith's influential book launched one of the fastest growing new religions on the planet, and has featured in everything from comic books and action figures to feature-length films and an award-winning Broadway musical.

L'introduction de trois pages indique que, si les Témoins se défendent de faire partie de "Babylone la Grande", ils proviennent bien d'une grande lignée religieuse : ils sont un rejeton du mouvement initié par Charles Taze Russell, des Étudiants de la Bible, qui s'inspirait des doctrines adventistes, courant ayant lui-même vu le jour sous l'impulsion de William Miller, un baptiste qui ne raviva le millénarisme au sein du christianisme. L'auteur identifie Joseph Rutherford, successeur de Russell à la présidence de la Société Watch Tower, au véritable fondateur des Témoins.Le livre se divise en plusieurs chapitres qui correspondent au plan de tous autres livres de la collection "Fils d'Abraham". La premier chapitre aborde l'histoire du mouvement en retraçant son évolution depuis l'attente du retour du Christ par les millérites en 1844 jusqu'à la fin des années 1980; il montre les évolutions successives du mouvement, du prophétisme de Russell en passant par la crise de succession et les dissidences, pour finalement aboutir à une secte routinisée et de plus en plus structurée, et évoque la crise post-1975. Le second chapitre est consacrée à la doctrine, soulignant la marque millénariste du groupe, son mode d'interprétation de la Bible, son rejet de la Trinité, la domination du monde par Satan, les dates prophétiques et l'eschatologie.Le troisième chapitre consacré à l'anthologie reproduit des passages tirés de textes des influences doctrinales de Russell (William Miller, George Storrs, Jonas Wendell, Nelson Barbour), de ses premiers collaborateurs (Albert Jones, John Paton), de Russell lui-même, de l'oraison funèbre qui eut lieu à sa mort, de Rutherford, et des ouvrages ultérieurement édités par la Watch Tower. Ces citations sont intéressantes car elles sont généralement méconnues du grand public et des adeptes, et permettent de souligner l'évolution de la doctrine au fil des années tout en indiquant la permanence des attentes millénaristes, fournissant les justifications théoriques de certaines règles du mouvement.Le quatrième chapitre, assez court — et pour cause: il n'y a pas grand chose à dire... —, met en valeur le désintérêt du mouvement pour toute forme artistique. Un cinquième s'intéresse à la vie spirituelle, montrant comment le petit groupe mystique des premiers temps s'est totalement muté en une organisation totalement orientée sur le prosélytisme sous Rutherford. Un sixième chapitre se penche sur le profil sociologique du groupe, étudiant les canaux de conversion, le type de personnes attirées, le rapport au monde, les facteurs de cohésion du groupe, la répartition des adeptes dans le monde et l'efficacité du prosélytisme. Enfin, un septième chapitre aborde l'organisation, présentée comme pyramidale, et le financement.La bibliographie, très abondante, regroupe des publications provenant tant des Étudiants de la Bible, des Témoins de Jéhovah, de leurs mouvements schismatiques, de leurs critiques et des chercheurs. L'annexe se compose de schémas permettant de visualiser la place des Étudiants de la Bible par rapport à l'adventisme ainsi que les schismes du mouvement, de cartes indiquant la répartition des adeptes par pays, de statistiques sur l'évolution des effectifs dans sa globalité et par pays. Enfin, après la table des matières, quelques photos et desseins, dont plusieurs illustrations tirées des publications, sont reproduits

Will Mormonism be the next world faith, one that will rival Catholicism, Islam, and other major religions in terms of numbers and global appeal? This was the question Rodney Stark addressed in his much-discussed and much-debated article, "The Rise of a New World Faith" (1984), one of several essays on Mormonism included in this new collection. Examining the religion's growing appeal, Rodney Stark concluded that Mormons could number 267 million members by 2080. In what would become known as "the Stark argument," Stark suggested that the Mormon Church offered contemporary sociologists and historians of religion an opportunity to observe a rare event: the birth of a new world religion.In the years following that article, Stark has become one of the foremost scholars of Mormonism and the sociology of religion. This new work, the first to collect his influential writings on the Mormon Church, includes previously published essays, revised and rewritten for this volume. His work sheds light on both the growth of Mormonism and on how and why certain religions continue to grow while others fade away. Stark examines the reasons behind the spread of Mormonism, exploring such factors as cultural continuity with the faiths from which it seeks converts, a volunteer missionary force, and birth rates. He explains why a demanding faith like Mormonism has such broad appeal in today's world and considers the importance of social networks in finding new converts. Stark's work also presents groundbreaking perspectives on larger issues in the study of religion, including the nature of revelation and the reasons for religious growth in an age of modernization and secularization.
