Shared Beliefs, Honest Differences

- $20.99
When his teenage daughter was confronted by a born-again friend's anti-Mormon materials, Dwight Monson wrote a letter defending LDS beliefs—a letter that grew into this comparative theology. Drawing extensively on the Bible and more than 100 non-LDS scholars, Monson examines five areas of doctrinal difference between Latter-day Saints and traditional Christians: the nature of God, grace and works, God's plan for His children, priesthood authority, and the Bible and revelation. His stated aim is not to condemn but to demonstrate that Latter-day Saints are undeniably Christian.
- Written by a Harvard/Stanford-educated layman who read 100+ non-LDS theologians to build his case
- Born from a real father-daughter moment—a defense letter that grew into a book
- Uses the Bible, the one canon all Christians share, to argue Latter-day Saints are Christian
- Cites Protestant and Catholic scholars conceding the Trinity is not explicitly biblical
“The man who has a certain religious belief and fears to discuss it, lest it may be proved wrong, is not loyal to his belief; he has but a coward's faithfulness to his prejudices.”
Perfect for a thoughtful Latter-day Saint who wants scripturally grounded responses to evangelical claims that Mormons aren't Christian, or a curious Christian willing to examine LDS beliefs fairly.
