We have those too. Look at Heber J. Grant, for instance, or even David O. McKay. I should add, Christopher also notes the need for paradigmatic examples for members BiC. We have those too.

First, excellent thoughts, Matt. I really enjoyed this. Second, I am with Christopher in wondering about the regeneration of certain converts before they became Mormon; the "pregeneration," if you will. Again, excellent post, and series overall.

I think a history of Mormon conversion might be quite fruitful in what it reveals. While this post and the subsequent discussion has discussed early Mormonism and modern Mormonism, the intervening 100+ years deserve attention, too. How the conversions of second generation Mormons differed from first, for example. Or what different aspects of Mormonism receive the most attention in gaining a testimony of the Mormon gospel (i.e. the Book of Mormon, prophets, restored priesthood, or the Mormon concept of Zion).
