and was not unique to Rees. Similarly, Nelson documents the anti-Semitic views of J. Reuben Clark of the Mormon First Presidency suggesting that Clark’s view established church policy within the top tier of LDS leader- ship. Nelson ignores the strong philo-Semitism of Mormon president, Heber J. Grant, and his counselor, David O. McKay. With the exception of noting Arthur Zimmer, a local LDS leader in Hamburg, Nelson undertakes no analysis of local branches (congrega- tions). Throughout the Reich there were branch and district (diocese) leaders who resisted the encroachment of Nazism into their jurisdic- tions. While there is a rigid hierarchy within Mormonism, it is not mono- lithic and Nelson ignores the nuances of individual leaders who held different ideological views. The history of the Latter-day Saints in Nazi Germany is a complex, nuanced and controversial area of religious studies. David Nelson’s Moroni and the Swastika serves as an introduction to Mormonism in the Third Reich, but due to its lack of context it is not the definitive work on the subject.

The Handbook Series from Oxford University Press aims for “leading international figures” within a discipline to offer “an authoritative and state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research in a particular subject area.” The hefty volume on Mormonism offers an introduction and forty-one essays organized into eight parts: history; revelation and scripture; ecclesiastical structure and praxis; Mormon thought; society; culture; the international church; and the world community. The hand- book will serve as a valuable reference but its aspiration to be current and authoritative suffers from a parochial selection of authors. It disap- pointingly privileges the voices of faith-affirming, educated, white males. More than half the authors are employed by the Latter-day Saint Church, most at Brigham Young University. Only one of the forty-five contributors is a person of color (Darius Gray, an African American) and four out of five authors are men. The handbook’s greatest contribution is its dialogue with a broad range of academic disciplines. Readers will appreciate the attention given to unique ideas about God, evil, scripture, priesthood, missionary work, embodiment, marriage, sexuality, gender, race, law, and geogra- phy. Among the highlights is W. Paul Reeve’s essay on the Utah church, which emerged “from despised outcasts and racialized un-Americans to Nova Religio 142
