Latter-Day Christianity: Ten Basic Issues

This book is a slender, fully illustrated introduction to the Christianity and Christology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The ten issues are:1) Are Latter-day Saints Christian?2) What do Latter-day Saints believe about God?3) Do latter-day Saints believe in the Bible and biblical Christianity?4) Does God speak to his children in ways other than through the Bible?5) Do Latter-day Saints believe that men and women can become Gods?6) What do latter-day Saints mean when they say that God was once a man?7) What do Latter-day Saints believe a person must do to be saved?8) Do the doctrines and practices of the LDS Church change?9) Ho do latter-day Saints believe they should live their lives?10) Why do Latter-day Saints try to convert others?I hope this gets your interest whetted. Robert L. Millet, the Dean of Religion at Brigham Young University-Provo and Dr. Noel Reynolds, an academic vice president at Brigham young University--Provo, are the editors, with several contributors from the Religious Faculty at BYU.This booklet allows us to speak for ourselves, unfiltered and undistorted. It serves as a great introduction, a guide map if you will, for several points of doctrine and theology that are important for the Church of Jesus Christ. It is written at the high school level, and has beautiful eye-catching pictures. It is a booklet written for everyone.

I'm not a Mormon (Evangelical Christian, actually) and I think this is a great intro to LDS doctrine for Christians curious about Mormonism. If you want to know the true LDS beliefs you should get them from a person who believes in Mormonism, not from a person who thinks Mormonism is a terrible cult. This book quickly cuts to the chase on some of the more controversial issues. This way you can make your own opinion, not get railroaded into a sensational one.

This is, for its size, an excellent little book that gives a solid, concise overview of Latter-day Saint belief on several issues that almost invariably come up when non-Mormons are asking questions about Mormonism. It's perfect for giving to curious neighbors, co-workers, etc. It makes no attempt to convert, but merely to explain. Very, very well done.

This was a really good book
