Beskrivning
Mormonism: A Guide for the Perplexed explains central facets of the Mormon faith and way of life for those wishing to gain a clearer understanding of this rapidly growing world religion. As The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to grow in the United States and especially in other countries (with a total membership of over 15 million, more than 50% of which is outside the US), and as theologians and church leaders wrestle with whether Mormonism is in fact a valid expression of modern Christianity, this distinctive religious tradition has become increasingly an object of interest and inquiry.This book is the ideal companion to the study of this perplexing and often misunderstood religion. Covering historical aspects, this guide takes a careful look at the whole of Mormonism, its tenets and practices, as well as providing an insight into a Mormon life.

Recensioner i media

Millet and Hopkin provide an introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), more commonly known as Mormons. Both authors are LDS insiders, so they are in a position to explain this religious movement from within. In 20 thematic chapters, they move readers through the history and theology of Mormonism, from its beginnings with the revelations to Joseph Smith and the early years of the LDS community through the modern Mormon Church, along the way providing a glimpse of the church's ideas about revelation, heaven, and things that are to come. Millet and Hopkin attempt to picture the Mormon religion as a distinctive form of Christianity, a viewpoint common to LDS practitioners but not accepted by most Christian groups. Thus, the book stresses commonalities between the LDS and Christianity rather than differences. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; graduate students; general readers.
