Park B. Romney is a 2nd cousin to presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, and a former High Priest of the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is the author of The Apostasy of a High Priest: the Sociology of an American Cult, characterized by one reader as "...perhaps, one of the most significant and incisive discussions of the epistemology of the Mormon Church, which is the philosophical corruption that makes the working fraud of Mormonism possible." The significance of Park B. Romney's book cuts to the core of what makes "Mormon think" what it is, by exposing the doctrinal roots and cultural impact of its epistemological roots.
From reader's comments:
"The epistemology of Mormonism is its most profoundly relevant device in accomplishing the psychological repression that is essential for its survival. Park Romney not only exposes this device, but painstakingly documents its doctrinal roots in Mormon scripture and then walks the reader through the intricate application of the philosophical and psychological and sociological mechanics of this device throughout the Mormon missionary process and subsequent cultural experience.
Mr. Romney's book is a brilliant expose of what is absolutely most relevant to the cult of Mormonism. It surpasses anything else I've read on the subject in its brief and succinct 10 chapters. I highly recommend this book.... before you read anything else on the subject. Many will find anything else on the subject, after this, to be superfluous detail to the more salient discussion that this book contains."
