Kristine L. Haglund is a writer, editor, and independent scholar, and the former editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought.
"Haglund's analysis truly shines when she places England in context
with other thinkers. . . The most powerful parts of Haglund's work
are when she demonstrates how England lived during a transition
moment for Mormonism." --By Common Consent
"Haglund's brief, elegant study brings back the restless
personality of the late Eugene England, one of Mormonism's most
energetic thinkers and intellectuals, wrestling with the tensions
between independent thought and loyal belief. This book illuminates
an entire era in Mormon intellectual history."--Claudia L. Bushman,
author of Contemporary Mormonism: Latter-day Saints in Modern
America
"Eugene England was the most gifted Latter-day Saint essayist of
the late twentieth century, influencing an entire generation of
thinkers and strivers. In Kristine Haglund's deft handling, we also
come to appreciate England as embodying the paradoxes and tensions
of modern religion: liberal and conservative, faith and reason,
individual and community, autonomy and authority. This book will
enable a whole new generation to rediscover the wisdom and wrestle
of one of twentieth-century Mormonism's most remarkable souls and
intellects."--Patrick Q. Mason, Utah State University
