520 |a "Eugene England (1933-2001)-one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals in the history of modern Mormonism-abided in the crossfire between religious tradition and reform. This first serious biography, by leading historian Terryl Givens, shimmers with the personal tensions felt deeply by England during the turmoil of the late twentieth century. Drawing on unprecedented access to England's personal papers, Givens paints the multifaceted portrait of a devout Latter-day Saint believer whose precarious position on the edge of church hierarchy was instrumental to his ability to shape the study of modern Mormonism as powerfully as he did"--  |c Provided by publisher
