Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Compiling a bibliography of the Latter Day Saint churches is at best an awesome task. We must refer to church in the plural. Since the Latter Day Saint movement officially began in 1830, there have been more than 100 different church organizations and other peripheral movements and activists emerge. In addition to the well-known Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (most commonly referred to as the "Mormon Church") which came to Utah under the leadership of Brigham Young in the 1840s, and the second largest of the Latter Day Saint churches, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or RLDS Church) which was formed by many original church members and organized branches which remained in the U. S. midwest after the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., who believed his son Joseph Smith III, to be the proper leader, there are more than 50 distinct Latter Day Saint movements currently functioning. With the advent of modern technology in the printing industry, it has become very easy to "publish" books, tracts, and other printed materials.
