| Résumé: | This essay suggests the unique opportunity the Mormons present to sociologists of religion: a chance to watch an extraordinarily rare event, the rise of a new world faith. Patterns of Mormon growth are traced from the start of the movement in 1830 through the present. Data on where the Mormons are growing, and their rates of growth, suggest that within a century there may well be more than 250 million Mormons. The essay concludes with suggestions for future research. |
