Infinite Contingencies: Insights on Latter-day Saint Doctrine and Practice
- Price
- $16.99
In fourteen accessible essays, scholar Michael Hawkins explores enduring questions of Latter-day Saint doctrine and practice. From the paradox of being commanded to "be perfect" to how God reconciles omniscience with human agency, from the gathering of Israel to reclaiming the Sabbath in a frantic modern world, Hawkins blends scripture, prophetic teaching, philosophy, and personal experience. Written to provoke discussion rather than deliver final answers, the book invites readers into the kind of lively gospel conversation the author grew up with around the family dinner table.
- Answers the tough gospel questions members are afraid to ask—without undermining faith
- Reconciles God's omniscience with human agency through the striking idea of 'infinite contingencies'
- A scholar's fresh take on why 'charity isn't fair'—and why that's the point
- Practical, field-tested help for gospel doctrine teachers who want to stop killing lessons
Perfect for a doctrinally curious, well-read Latter-day Saint adult who loves digging into gospel questions and enjoys thoughtful Sunday School discussion.
