"In 2002, Francis Beckwith authored a chapter in The New Mormon Challenge in which he argued that the Mormon (LDS) worldview does not adequately ground moral laws. LDS philosopher Blake Ostler offered a response to Beckwith's argument and attempted to demonstrate LDS's theism's compatibility with objective moral values and duties. A substantial portion of Ostler's work argues for a reinterpretation of Joseph Smith's teaching about God that he dubs 'kingship monotheism.' Christian scholars have yet to respond to Ostler's critique of Beckwith's argument or his grounding of objective moral values and duties within an LDS worldview. This paper represents a beginning of such a response. It argues that the moral argument for God's existence provides good evidence for Christian theism and serves as a critique of LDS theism."
