Liberating Form
Mormon Essays on Religion and Literature

by Marden J. Clark
Salt Lake City: Aspen Books, 1992 (241p.)
 

Genre:  Personal Essay Collection
Annotations:
Personal Essay Award, Association for Mormon Letters, 1992

"This book appeals to thoughtful Mormons who are against the grain of intellectual modernity, claiming still to believe in a divine plan of salvation, eternal laws, ideality, truth, and especially intimations of a priori essences-all of which are, to some extent, knowable and, hence, liberating. The essays reveal a mind confronting dilemma and working its way toward some kind of acceptable, if not always comfortable, statement of belief; a mind that has conscientiously been where it invites the reader to follow, both in doubt and in faith. The author does not dogmatize or scold; he hardly even urges. He just shares the joys and frustrations of a thoughtful, honest, Mormon literary scholar in precise, clear, honest language." [AML Award Citation]
