Criticisms of the LDS Church are frequently based on intentional misinterpretations of Mormon doctrine. This book provides useful clarifications and rebuttals of many of those misrepresented doctrinal and historical areas. It gives simple but authoritative answers to more than sixty often-asked questions posed by anti-Mormon detractors. The answers are direct and non-confrontational, providing readers with a friendly, teaching way of responding to those who question them.
The author points out pertinent biblical parallels to many situations. His answers are supported by appropriate scriptures, statements of modern prophets, writings of ancient Christian leaders, and corroborating findings by modern non-LDS scholars.
Brother Gibson encountered his first anti-Mormon book while serving in the Scottish-Irish Mission in the early 1960s. Disturbed by what he read, he and a fellow missionary analyzed the inconsistencies in the book. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in communications. He and his wife, Bette, were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of four children. His hobbies include mentoring several small businesses, reading, teaching, and speaking. He has served in numerous Church callings, including two bishoprics. From Clergy to Convert is his first book.
