Marianne Meets the Mormons
In the nineteenth century, a fascination with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made Mormons and Mormonism a common trope in French journalism, art, literature, politics, and popular culture. Heather Belnap, Corry Cropper, and Daryl Lee bring to light French representations of Mormonism from the 1830s to 1914, arguing that these portrayals often critiqued and parodied French society. Mormonism became a pretext for reconsidering issues such as gender, colonialism, the family, and church-state relations while providing artists and authors with a means for working through the possibilities of their own evolving national identity.
Surprising and innovative, Marianne Meets the Mormons looks at how nineteenth-century French observers engaged with the idea of Mormonism in order to reframe their own cultural preoccupations.

A Foreign Kingdom
The years from 1852 to 1890 marked a controversial period in Mormonism, when the church's official embrace of polygamy put it at odds with wider American culture. In this study, Christine Talbot explores the controversial era, discussing how plural marriage generated decades of cultural and political conflict over competing definitions of legitimate marriage, family structure, and American identity. In particular, Talbot examines \"the Mormon question\" with attention to how it constructed ideas about American citizenship around the presumed separation of the public and private spheres. Contrary to the prevailing notion of man as political actor, woman as domestic keeper, and religious conscience as entirely private, Mormons enfranchised women and framed religious practice as a political act. The way Mormonism undermined the public/private divide led white, middle-class Americans to respond by attacking not just Mormon sexual and marital norms but also Mormons' very fitness as American citizens.

كلمات من نار : تأملات حول يسوع الناصرة : دراسة
كلمات من نار والحق هي من نور ونار... تخترق أفئدتنا لكي تعبر عن أعماق أوشو الواسعة كالمحيطات وهكذا، ففي هذا الكتاب الذي هو تأملات أوشو عن يسوع الناصرة، يعبق بالعطر الذي يكاد يخرج من أوراق هذا الكتاب ويأخذ القارئ في رحلة داخلية إلى مكمن الألوهية فيه ويعمل دؤوبا لكي يحركها ويقلب تربة اللاوعي ويغذيها لكي تستيقظ من سباتها الشتوي وتدخل في ربيع أبدي، حيث التأمل والاستنارة والجمال... والحق، إن أوشو في هذا الكتاب لا تنحصر تأملاته عن يسوع الناصرة فحسب، بل ينطلق من يسوع الناصرة لكي يحدثنا عن مبادئ المساررة الروحية بالماء والنار ويحدثنا عن معنى النبوة ومعنى السراني ومعنى الناسوت ومعنى اللاهوت وعلى هذا فهو لا يترك شيئا تقريبا يمت بصلة للموضوع إلا ويتطرق له فيحدثنا تارة عن الشعر والشعراء وتارة أخرى عن جمالية الأمثولات التي كان يسوع يحدثنا من خلالها ويحدثنا أيضا عن مفهوم الأنا وأهمية التحرر منه لكي نبلغ النزفانا والموكشا أي الانعتاق والحرية وهو لا يترك شيئا إلا ويحدثنا عنه سواء كان الكتاب المقدس أم الغيتا وغيرها من أسفار مقدسة وصولا إلى كريشنا ومهافيرا وبوذا.
