Evangelical Christians Jerald and Sandra Tanner of Salt Lake City
have devoted their lives to publishing secret Mormon rituals,
exposing flaws in church texts and generally irritating the
local power structure. (Why do we feel a kinship?)
This is an empassioned, disorganized tract of 576 very dense pages,
consisting of reproduced church documents,
mimeographed essays, interviews, pictures, hieroglyphics,
endless analysis of scripture and thousands of passages
meaningfully underlined.
There is certainly a lot of material here the church
does not want published, including temple ceremonies,
temple clothing and secret oathes: Your challenge is to distill
that forbidden knowledge
from the massive body of words found here.
This self-published anti-Mormon tome has the same weight, size and density
as a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. We have read only a couple of the chapters - No human could read it all.
- but we admire this book and its authors
for their single-minded mission.
If left on the coffee table, this book will provide YEARS of
entertaining reading.
