LDS Church and the Race Issue: A Study in Misplaced Apologetics (CD)
Was Brigham Young a racist? Why was the priesthood withheld from black members until 1978? Armand Mauss deals with these, and other difficult questions regarding the early LDS ban on the priesthood, in this thought-provoking presentation. Mauss' study of race issues is the fruit of forty years' work. His presentation also proved to be quite up to providing insightful answers during the question and answer period. BONUS: The Windows Media Video format includes Daniel C. Peterson's presentation, Random Reflections on the Passing Scene. Armand L. Mauss is emeritus Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies at Washington State University. He earned his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California at Berkeley. He has taught, as regular or visiting faculty, at Diablo Valley College, Utah State University, UC Santa Barbara, University of Calgary, University of Lethbridge, and the College of St. Hild and St. Bede of Durham University. Brother Mauss is a past editor for the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, past president of the Mormon History Association, and current Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Dialogue Foundation. He is the author of numerous books and articles, among them The Angel and the Beehive: The Mormon Struggle with Assimilation and All Abraham's Children: Changing Mormon Conceptions of Race and Lineage. Among other awards and recognitions, in 1995 he received the Mormon History Association's Best First Book Award and their Arrington Award for contributions to Mormon Studies. iscounts).
