Socio-Political Factors Affecting The Growth Of The Mormon Church In Argentina Since 1925, Michael B. Smurthwaite Jan 1968

Socio-Political Factors Affecting The Growth Of The Mormon Church In Argentina Since 1925, Michael B. Smurthwaite

Theses and Dissertations

Since 1925 Mormon missionaries have proselyted in Catholic Argentina. Yet the Argentine mission has grown very slowly and encountered many difficulties. Did the missionaries' North American image affect the missionary work? Did the predominance of the Catholic Church stunt the growth of the new sect? How did the impact of bitter U.S.-Argentine international relations during the Second World War, and the advent of Peron affect the reception of Mormonism in Argentina?

These questions concerning the history of the Mormon Church in Argentina since 1940 can best be understood by considering the episodes of Argentine history which bear directly on the …

Based on his experience in the church, the writer chose the following areas of …
