The Politics of Schism. The origins of Dissent in Mormonism

Abstrakt

Throughout nearly two ages of its history, and especially in the 19th century, Mormonism has experienced numerous cases of dissent and schism. Analysis of their sources reveals that, among a number of doctrinal, ritual, organisational and other issues, the single most important cause of schism was conflicts over authority. These power struggles are explained – within a theoretical framework derived from the theory of social exchange – as balancing operations intended to improve the actors’ position in unequal exchange relations: to be able to obtain the valuable religious goods at a lower price (i.e. less or no submission).
