Book Review: In Harm’s Way: East German Latter-day Saints in World War II

By October 27, 2010


We’re pleased to host a book review by Amanda5245 of Scholaristas: A Women’s Religious History Blog.

Roger P. Minert. In Harm’s Way: East German Latter-day Saints in World War II. Provo, UT: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 2009. 545 pp. $29.95. Hardback, ISBN: 978-0-8425-2746-0.

In 1974, Roger Minert began to explore the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Germany.  Leafing through the pages of Der Stern, an LDS magazine published in Germany, he began to ask questions about the everyday experiences of the men and women who had lived through the war and had participated in the Church?s branch meetings and Relief Societies.  He wondered how destruction from Allied bombing affected the ways in which German Saints worshipped and how many of members had lost their homes.  He soon discovered that these were questions that had no easy answers.  The research simply had not been done.  The Church was uncertain of how many members had died during the war.

The “Complete” Discourses of Brigham Young is Out of Print

By September 22, 2010


This is cross-posted from Browsing the Stacks.

Published less than a year ago, the 5 volume Complete Discourses of Brigham Young, compiled-officially-by Richard S. Van Wagoner (the word on the street is that a relative of his did the bulk of the work and then balked at having their name associated with the project and asked RSVW to take it) is out of print. Priced at $500, this set has likely remained elusive to all but the most avid of collectors.
