Fifty years ago, Thomas F. O'Dea, a Catholic sociologist who taught at the University of Utah from 1959 to 1964, published a landmark study titled simply The Mormons. It remains one of the most widely cited social science treatments of Mormon society and culture. Now, after five decades of additional scholarly inquiry, this volume revisits O'Dea's life and work, while offering new insights about the LDS Church and its members. Scholars from the U.S. and Europe contribute to an examination of the interplay between contemporary social issues and the church, including such topics as civil rights, the women's movement, homosexuality, rising divorce rates, and childbirth outside marriage.
