From the Back Cover

The 'Refiner's Fire' presents a new and comprehensive understanding of the roots of the Mormon religion, a religion which proposes that the faithful will become gods. The book's central thesis is that the origins of Mormonism lie in the fusion and magical ideas about recovering the divine powers of Adam lost in the fall from Paradise.
