Understanding Our Evangelical Neighbors

Written by an Evangelical scholar (Richard Mouw) and a Latter-day Saint scholar (Robert Millet), this third volume in the Understanding Our Neighbors series explains Evangelical beliefs and practices to LDS readers. Organized around the Reformation's five 'solas,' it charts commonalities, honest differences, and 'holy envy'—the practice of admiring what is good in another's faith. Drawing on their twenty-year Mormon–Evangelical dialogue, the authors model civil, warm-hearted interfaith understanding for a diversifying world.

• A rare book co-written by an Evangelical seminary president and an LDS BYU dean who became dear friends over 20 years of dialogue
• Introduces 'holy envy'—admiring the good in another faith without abandoning your own
• Explains the five Reformation 'solas' clearly for LDS readers
• Models civility in an age of religious division and 'culture wars'

“It is one thing to learn to tolerate one another, but it is even more important to understand and ultimately to appreciate one another—our similarities as well as our differences.”

Perfect for a thoughtful Latter-day Saint who wants to understand and build genuine friendships with Evangelical neighbors without compromising their own faith.
