About
Most people have heard of the Book of Mormon (the book, not the Broadway play) but what about Mormons and the Bible? Do Mormons see themselves in the Bible? How do they interpret the Bible in support of their unique doctrines and practices? And how, through the lens of the Bible, do they see themselves in the larger context of Christianity? Seeing members of this church - one of the fastest growing in the world - as they see themselves is an interesting and useful exercise, whatever one's religious convictions may be.
The Biblical Roots of Mormonism, written with writer/editor Charles Sale, is Eric Shuster's second book on comparative religion. His first, Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest, compared Mormonism with Catholicism. The Biblical Roots of Mormonism delves into specific Mormon beliefs and the biblical writings Mormons associate with them. Believers and skeptics alike will find The Biblical Roots of Mormonism an engrossing study in comparative religion.
