“in Brown’s ambitious reinterpretation of the oft-misunderstood faith that Smith established, victory over death emerges as a theological motif . . . . Careful research enables Brown to highlight the ways that mortal experience strained death-defying Mormon doctrines . . . readers . . . will have ever
more reason to consult Brown’s extended inquiry into [Mormonism’s] controversial affirmation of immortality.”
