As accolades and adoration continue to pour in after the <a href='https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/09/28/russell-m-nelson-latter-day-saint/'>death of President Russell M. Nelson</a>, it could be time to assess the historical perspective and place of the oldest prophet-president in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
What will be his legacy? How did his leadership and innovations impact the global faith?
Then there’s the question of how his presumed successor, Dallin H. Oaks, will be “chosen,” how he might lead, how he will navigate the contemporary political landscape and how that relates to other religious groups.
In this week’s show, <a href='https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/01/14/sweeping-new-book-explores/'>Latter-day Saint historian Benjamin Park,</a> author of “<a href='https://www.amazon.com/American-Zion-New-History-Mormonism/dp/1631498657'>American Zion: A New History of Mormonism</a>," explores those questions and more.
