The Sound of Mormonism: A Media History of Latter-Day Saints - Paperback

by Jared Farmer (Author)

The Sound of Mormonism is an annotated and expanded version of the 2023 lecture "Music & the Unspoken Truth"--an homage to the Music and the Spoken Word radio program and a meditation on the relationships between religion, music, vocality, and quietude.

The Arrington Lecture series, established in honor of one of the twentieth-century American West's most distinguished historians, Leonard Arrington, has become a leading forum for prominent scholars to address topics related to Latter-day Saint history. Utah State University hosts the Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture Series through the Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives.
