Mormonism can be seen as a reflection of the development of American society and culture from the early 1800s to the present. The major aim of this work is to establish a proper chronology for the development of Mormon thought, specifically in its concept of the nature of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46862743044247,"sku":"9780786474028","price":2826.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786474028.webp?v=1769967420","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mormonism-and-the-nature-of-god-a-theological-evolution-1830-1915-9780786474028","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
