Binding Earth and Heaven: Patriarchal Blessings in the Prophetic Development of Early Mormonism

Focuses on Mormonism as a case study of how unpopular new religions may survive and even flourish in spite of unrelenting opposition. Examines early patriarchal blessings bestowed upon early converts to Mormonism from 1834-1845, and their function as a commitment mechanism for converts.
