NB: Murders not obligatory!
I recently read “Under the Banner of Heaven” and liked that I was able to come out of it with an understanding for the evolution of the Mormon faith and its various sects. I am a secular Jew by birth, but relatively uninformed of the religion’s history and traditions. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend any books that can provide a similar sort of overarching background. Of course, Judaism has been around a few more years than Mormonism, so I imagine this may be a fruitless quest.
Touchy subject, but I am not particularly interested in, let’s call it… propaganda. I appreciated that Krakauer was extremely well researched, but not involved with the religion.
