DNA Mormon: Perspectives on the Legacy of Historian D. Michael Quinn

Beschreibung

Few individuals influenced the New Mormon History and a generation of young intellectuals as D. Michael Quinn. In the new collection of essays, scholars explore Quinn's influence, his groundbreaking work, and his legacy. Essays in this volume mine the depths of Quinn's fractured life, from his complicated relationship with his father and his Chicano heritage to his conflicted existence as a closeted gay man desperately striving to live as a faithful Latter-day Saint husband and father. Other essays examine Quinn's contentious work on the LDS hierarchy, post-Manifesto polygamy, magic and treasure-seeking in early Mormonism, and same-sex attraction among nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints. Finally, younger scholars honor Quinn's legacy with articles on plural marriage, LGBTQ+ issues at BYU, and conflicts between faith and intellect.
