''The Story of the Latter-day Saints'' is a single-volume history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) by James B. Allen and Glen M. Leonard, first published in 1976. ==Overview== The authors summarized the tone of their work by identifying four recurring themes that emerged throughout ''The Story of the Latter-day Saints'': # The Latter-day Saints were primarily religiously motivated. # The church was always influenced by its environment, to some degree. # The church started small and American, but would grow into an international organization. # The church has been flexible with some issues, yet committed to certain central teachings. Although seen as well-written and comprehensive, the book was intended for a Latter-day Saint audience, because it detailed minutiae like organizational changes, but didn't focus on issues of interest to new readers on Mormonism. Unlike most earlier Mormon histories, this book focused on casting the church in a broader context, addressed controversial historical issues, and covered the events of the twentieth century. The following list of the book's chapters also describe its historical scope: # The Religious Setting for the Restoration # The Restoration Commences, 1820-1831 # Unfolding Latter-day Zion, 1831-1836 # The Saints Move On, 1836-1839 # Building the City Beautiful, 1839-1842 # Difficult Days: Nauvoo, 1842-1845 # Exodus to a New Zion, 1846-1850 # Establishing an Ensign, 1851-1856 # In the National Spotlight, 1856-1863 # Challenges and Cooperatives, 1864-1872 # Close of a Career, 1872-1877 # A Turbulent Decade, 1877-1887 # The End of an Era, 1887-1896 # A Time of Transition, 1897-1907 # Consolidating for Growth, 1908-1918 # Change and Continuity in the Postwar Decade, 1919-1930 # The Church and the Great Depression, 1930-1938 # The Church in World War II, 1939-1950 # Foundations for Expansion, 1951-1959 # Correlating the Worldwide Church, 1960-1973 # "Lengthening Our Stride," 1973-1976 In the 1992 second edition, the last chapter was changed to "Toward a Universal Church, 1974-1990". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Story of the Latter-day Saints」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
