520    "Religious authority has long been a central concern for 
       religious traditions. This is especially the case for the 
       Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Indeed, the 
       Mormon tradition's emphasis on prophetic authority makes 
       them unique within American religious culture. This book 
       will trace the contours of Mormonism's unique claim to 
       religious authority, and what such a claim can tells us 
       about the surrounding context from which it emerged. 
       Though most Americans ideologically opposed the idea of 
       monarchy and politically equated it with tyranny and 
       suppression, religion created a space in which individuals
       could build a kingdom of God and one could worship a 
       divine king. Mormonism can be thus aligned with American's
       post-Revolutionary "nostalgia for monarchy," framing its 
       development within the concept of American religious 
       authority that was being shaped by the symbiotic 
       relationship of American religion and cultural authority. 
       The religion Joseph Smith created not only established a 
       kingdom of God, it positioned him as the authoritative 
       voice of Christ on earth, successfully shaping an 
       independent religious authority in which the voice of the 
       prophet formed cities, established economies, and arranged
       governance. Prophetic Authority examines the origins of 
       the LDS priesthood and its relationship to Joseph Smith's 
       notions of religious authority, and specifically 
       investigates the evolution of the concept of prophetic 
       authority. MacKay argues that the ecstatic element of 
       Smith's experiences, which eventually becomes a central 
       part of Smith's articulation of a priesthood restoration, 
       can be read as growing out of the nineteenth-century 
       American revivalism particular to the Burned Over 
       District. The project takes a solid historical work a step
       further in terms of analysis and theological 
       interpretation, which leads to some fascinating new claims
       and discussions"--|cProvided by publisher.
