Irish Mormons: Reconciling Identity in Global Mormonism by Hazel O'Brien

Abstract

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, more commonly called Mormonism, is not normally associated with Ireland. As a nation of tea drinkers, not being able to have a cup of tea does not seem Irish. However, Irish Mormons would claim they are Irish, albeit with different beliefs. Religion and its intersection with identity is at the core of this book.
