| Итог: | The Mormon Quest for Glory is a theoretically grounded psycho-ethnography of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) that nicely updates the classic study Mormon Lives by Susan Buhler Taber (1993). Hammarberg spent numerous hours at church meetings (in Utah, Arizona, and Pennsylvania), General Conferences, and temple open houses, and he interviewed more than 80 people between 1994 and 2008 (11). His aim was “to understand and represent the culture of the church,” including its history, rituals, social organization, leadership, recruitment strategies, and use of the media (2). Hammarberg is not a Mormon believer, but he wanted to understand the LDS on their own terms as a social scientist (3). |
