This section includes topics from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, but some of the topics will be expanded to include other information. The Encyclopedia was the first major encyclopedia published about the Mormons. It presents the work of hundreds of Latter-day Saint (LDS) lay scholars and others from throughout the world and provides a comprehensive reporting of Mormon history, scripture, doctrines, life, and knowledge, intended for both the non-Mormon and the LDS reader. Readers will find an article on almost any topic conceivably related to the general topic of Mormonism, but no article is exhaustive because of space limitations.

As clearly stated in the Preface by Daniel H. Ludlow,

Lest the role of the Encyclopedia be given more weight than it deserves, the editors make it clear that those who have written and edited have only tried to explain their understanding of Church history, doctrines, and procedures; their statements and opinions remain their own. The Encyclopedia of Mormonism is a joint product of Brigham Young University and Macmillan Publishing Company, and its contents do not necessarily represent the official position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In no sense does the Encyclopedia have the force and authority of scripture.

In this website we will only include some of the articles of the Encyclopedia and links to the full text for the other articles.

Articles are organized by alphabetical order:

A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H – I -  J – K – L - M – N – O – P - Q - R - S – T – U – V – W – Y – Z
