Mormonism : What Everyone Needs to Know
-
New York, NY
-
Oxford University Press
-
"Mormonism, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is America's most successful--and most misunderstood--home grown religion. Avoiding the textbook, narrative approach of most introductions, this volume instead poses well over a hundred commonly asked questions--and some not so common!--and provides thoughtful, short essays in response. The question and answer format means enhanced readability; perfect for casual browsing or in-depth study. General topics include theology, culture, history, scripture, and practice. Questions range from the straightforward ('What circumstances gave rise to Mormonism?'), to the controversial ('Why do Mormons accept the Book of Abraham as scripture if Egyptologists have discredited it?') to the exotic ('What is Kolob?'; 'Is the Garden of Eden in Missouri?')."
