The Mormon Elders and the Devils: A Collection of Pamphlets and Speeches

The Mormon Elders and the Devils is a rare collection of pamphlets, speeches, and polemics addressing the controversial rise of Mormonism and its entanglement with accusations of heresy, fanaticism, and even diabolical influence. Written by Hon. W. H. Hooper, the work captures the fiery debates of an age when new religious movements were viewed with both fascination and fear.

In these pages, sermons and pamphlets become weapons, wielded against what critics saw as dangerous spiritual deception. The specter of the Devil looms large—not merely as a theological figure, but as an accusation hurled in the battle for souls, power, and legitimacy in 19th-century America.

Part religious controversy, part occult allegory, The Mormon Elders and the Devils offers a window into the cultural and spiritual anxieties of the time—an era where every new creed risked being branded as the work of darkness.
