Build For Eternity : A History Of The Church Of Jesus Christof Latter Day Saints In New Zealand
Paperback Edition: 1
Build for Eternity is a comprehensive account of the history of Mormonism in New Zealand from 1854, when its first missionaries arrived, to the present day. The book draws on the perspectives and experiences of sixteen writers, including historians, academics, social scientists, ecclesiastical leaders and critics. It explores key developments that laid the foundations of a global mainstream religion in New Zealand and took it into the twenty-first century - the establishment of a New Zealand Mission, European converts gathering to Utah, the reconciliation of Maori cultural traditions with church teachings, a national church building programme, new executive-style administrative leadership and the effect of socio-cultural societal changes. Build for Eternity gives insight into the impact of the American-based religion and culture on people in New Zealand, particularly Maori, over the past 170 years.
