The Pathway of Mormonism - An Investigation Into Latter-Day Saint's Culture of Consecration

In the Mormon community, there exists a "culture of consecration and discipleship" to an exceptional degree. Ronald R. Zollinger, a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, suggests there is an exceptional "cost" of aligning oneself to Mormonism and being a faithful member-costs involving great sacrifices of time, effort and financial commitment. THE PATHWAY OF MORMONISM investigates this theological culture. Zollinger states that "faithful membership within Mormonism requires more than family tradition rising out of being born into the church or viewing church relations as a social convenience." THE PATHWAY OF MORMONISM presents several scenarios or examples of religious practice which are without equal in other communities of religious belief. THE PATHWAY OF MORMONISM helps readers understand the underlying motivation supporting the Mormon "culture of consecration and discipleship" as well as the anticipated benefit.
