The Book of Mammon: The Evolution of Mormon Belief and Practice

Regular readers of this blog (advt) know that although I am an Orthodox Christian, I have a longstanding and ongoing interest in Mormon history, the organization of the Mormon Church, and the evolution of its beliefs and practices. Well, I just finished listening to a four-part podcast interview that hits all the right spots for me: an extended conversation with an LDS anthropologist who worked at church headquarters and wrote a book about his experiences.

It's a part of the Mormon Stories podcast series, started by John Dehlin. It's neither pro- nor anti-LDS, just an honest appraisal of how things have evolved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I highly recommend it. Find it here:
