Last Born In The Wilderness

I speak with John G. Turner, author and historian of American Religion. We discuss the origins and development of the uniquely American religion The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or as it is more colloquially referred: the “Mormon Church”), explored in John’s book, Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet, a biography of the Church’s influential second president, and in his more recent book, The Mormon Jesus: A Biography, which covers the Church’s theological underpinnings and place within the tapestry of American Christianity.
