A Believing People

A Believing People: Literature of the Latter-day Saints, edited by Richard H. Cracroft and Neal E. Lambert, and published in 1974, was "the first significant anthology of the literature of the Latter-day Saints"[1] and began the establishment of the field of Mormon literature as a legitimate discipline, and remains, according to A Motley Vision in 2012, " the only comprehensive Mormon Literature anthology ever published."[2] Cracroft and Lambert released an anthology with a more modern focus, 22 Young Mormon Writers, the following year.

Included authors

The collection includes works of many sorts (letters, poetry, sermons, etc.), mostly from LDS authors, but also some by those friendly to the Mormons (e.g. Thomas L. Kane) or with early-life connections (e.g. Ina Coolbrith) or similarly tangential relationships. Authors are listed alphabetically. Works without a listed author are not reflected in this list.

gollark: They don't even support Vulkan, the *only* choice is their proprietary Metal API.
gollark: That's just Apple being Apple and doing vendor lock-in constantly, it's still used a ton.
gollark: I mean, the comments don't work since those are implemented with client-side JS and the navbar is somewhat broken because it supports literally no CSS, but still.
gollark: This renders my stuff surprisingly non-terribly.
gollark: Mine is somewhat tested against them and approximately works, but it's not really a priority.
