The Origin, Rise, and Progress of Mormonism offers a clear, critical history of its birth, leadership, and dramatic growth.

This nonfiction work traces the rise of Mormonism from its early roots to the vibrant center at Nauvoo. It presents the people, politics, and decisions that shaped the church’s development, including the ambitions of its leaders, the creation of a new city, and the blending of religious and social power.

• Explore how Nauvoo became the movement’s main hub, its encounters with public opinion, and the challenges of governing a growing community.
• Learn about key figures such as Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and the roles they played in shaping doctrine, practice, and public life.
• See how developments like the Nauvoo House and the Nauvoo Legion affected both church members and the broader society.
• Understand the emergence of controversial practices and how they entered the faith, as well as the responses of supporters and critics.
