Mormon Spirituality

In the academic study of Mormonism it can easy to lose site of the fact that Mormonism, at its core, is indeed a religionwith spiritual purpose and not just a fully unique and interesting cultural phenomenon. Despite any shortcomings Mormonism may have, Mormon Scripture, individual Mormons, and Mormon leaders have at times produced some of the most beautiful and spiritual messages to be found in *any* faith tradition. For the sake of illustration, I present a sampling of some of my favorite messages here.

The Peacable Things of the Kingdom - Elder Jeffery R. Holland, October 1996

"Come Unto Me" - Elder Jeffery R. Holland, March 1997

The Need for Greater Kindness - President Gordon B. Hinckley, April 2006

Developing a Personal Relationship with the Savior - George Pace, 1975

2 Nephi Chapter 2 - This chapter lies at the center of Book of Mormon theories of Atonement.
