Mormonism the Islam of America

By Bruce Kinney

Book Overview

""Mormonism the Islam of America"" is a thought-provoking book written by Bruce Kinney, which explores the similarities between the Mormon religion and Islam. The author delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of both religions, drawing parallels and highlighting similarities that are often overlooked. Kinney argues that both religions share a common thread of exclusivity and a strong emphasis on obedience to God's commands. He also examines the impact of both religions on American society and their role in shaping American culture. The book is well-researched and provides a unique perspective on two religions that are often misunderstood and misrepresented. It is a must-read for anyone interested in religious studies or American culture.1912. Illustrated. From the Editorial Committee: The title of this, the latest of the textbooks issued by the Council of Women for Home Missions, may need a word of explanation. It is generally acknowledged that Mormonism is similar to Mohammedanism in its endorsement of the practice of polygamy, and its ideas of heaven. Many other points of similarity between these systems have been noted by students, and the Book of Mormon has marked resemblance to the Koran. As all ancient religions have a modern equivalent, Mormonism can justly be claimed to be the modern form of Mohammedanism, and not incorrectly termed the Islam of America. Contents: History of the Mormons; The Sacred Books of the Mormons; Organization and Methods of the Mormon Church; Mormonism as a Religion; Mormonism as a Life; and Missions Among the Mormons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
