The Neil A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship will host a lecture by Benjamin Park on February 28th, 2020.
Benjamin Park’s new book, "Kingdom of Nauvoo," excavates the brief, tragic life of a lost Mormon city, demonstrating that the Latter-day Saints are essential to understanding American history writ large. Using newly accessible sources, Park argues that far from being outsiders, the Mormons were representative of their era in their distrust of democracy and their attempt to forge a sovereign society of their own.
In this guest lecture, Park will discuss "the rise and fall of a religious empire on the American frontier."
