Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Real Mormonism: A Candid Analysis of an Interesting but Much Misunderstood Subject in History, Life and Thought The name Mormonism is the popular designation for the system of religious doctrine and practice founded on the teachings of Joseph Smith(1805-1844), who claimed a divinely revealed authority to restore the Gospel of Christ in its original purity, which, as he asserted, had been lost and obscured through centuries of apostasy among Christian people. Although not officially recognized by his disciples - they call their organization the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in distinction from the "Former-day Saints," or the Church of the time of Christ´s apostles - the term has the authority of sufficient good usage to warrant us in retaining it, in preference to the longer title. Hence, following the rooted habit of over three-score years and ten, we will in the present book speak of Mormonism and Mormons, without marks of quotation; remarking, however, that no more disrespect or opprobrium attaches to the use of these words than to that of such analogous epithets as Quakers, Swedenborgians, Wesleyans or Papists. The title or epithet, Mormon, derives from a prophet and important personage of that name, who, as is claimed, lived anciently on the American Continent, and was largely instrumental in compiling the records of his people - they were known as Nephites - and of God´s dealings with them, into the collection of documents, now known as the Book of Mormon. This record, inscribed on "plates resembling gold," was, it is claimed, delivered to Joseph Smith by an angel named Moroni, who during his earth life was the son of Mormon. Translated by Joseph Smith, "through the gift and power of God," it furnishes a recognized inspired scripture for the church founded by him. Hence his disciples were known, first as "Mormonites," later as "Mormons." Mormonism is a system of large things.
