Mormon Restoration, Christian Reformation?

The tired old trope about post-apostolic Christians, without prophets and apostles, struggling to work out exactly what they believed, Nicaea, the cobbling together of a Bible, and the ‘invention’ of the Trinity, really has outstayed its welcome, yet Mormons still trot it out at every opportunity.

Mormon Revelation and Restorationism

Mormonism is a Restorationist religion. This is hardly controversial or surprising since it grew out of the Restorationist enthusiasm formed during the Second Great Awakening of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Restorationism is one of two very influential movements to come out of the Great Awakening whose influence we still see today, the other being Adventism.
