The Mormon puzzle, and how to solve it by R. W. Beers
"The Mormon Puzzle; and How to Solve It" by R. W. Beers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the complex issues surrounding Mormonism, focusing not just on its religious aspects but also on its socio-political implications. Beers aims to explore the different dimensions of this "puzzle," emphasizing the challenges and misunderstandings faced both by Mormons and non-Mormons in America. At the start of the work,Beers introduces the pervasive intrigue surrounding Mormonism, describing it as a significant problem in American society. He outlines how his investigation is an attempt to understand the origins and growth of the movement led by Joseph Smith, presenting the founder as a figure of both admiration and contention. The initial chapters delve into Smith's early life, alleged revelations, and the establishment of the Church, setting the stage for a deeper discussion of the four major exoduses of Mormons and the socio-political struggles that continue to define their community. Through thorough research and engagement with diverse sources, Beers seeks to navigate the intricate historical contexts of Mormonism, aiming to provide insight and potential solutions to its ongoing challenges.
