- $27.99
Richard R. Hopkins traces how Greek philosophical assumptions—metaphysics, transcendence, divine incorporeality, and creation ex nihilo—infiltrated early Christianity through the second-century Apologists, corrupting the biblical concept of God. Drawing on early Church history, scripture, and philosophy, he argues that classical theism rests on Hellenistic foundations rather than the Bible, and that Latter-day Saint theology offers a rational, biblically consistent alternative. A detailed, scholarly work of LDS apologetics addressing God's attributes, the Trinity, and eternal progression.
- Reveals how the Christian doctrine of the Trinity came from Plato and Aristotle rather than the Bible
- A point-by-point LDS rebuttal to a famous Evangelical critique of the Mormon concept of God
- Uses Einstein's physics and the mathematics of infinity to defend belief in a corporeal, progressing God
- Traces the exact decades (161-180 AD) when Christianity's God was 'Hellenized'
“It was these Church fathers of the late second century who led the Church away from the biblical truth about God and allowed Greek philosophy to corrupt the Christian concept of God.”
Perfect for an educated Latter-day Saint interested in defending LDS beliefs about God against Evangelical/classical Christian critiques, or a student of comparative theology and early Church history.
