Book Description
The principal doctrines defining Mormonism today often bear little resemblance to those it started out with in the early 1830s. This book shows that these doctrines did not originate in a vacuum but were rather prompted and informed by the religious culture from which Mormonism arose. Early Mormons, like their early Christian and even earlier Israelite predecessors, brought with them their own varied culturally conditioned theological presuppositions (a process of convergence) and only later acquired a more distinctive theological outlook (a process of differentiation). In this first-of-its-kind comprehensive treatment of the development of Mormon theology, Charles Harrell traces the history of Latter-day Saint doctrines from the times of the Old Testament to the present. He describes how Mormonism has carried on the tradition of the biblical authors, early Christians, and later Protestants in reinterpreting scripture to accommodate new theological ideas while attempting to uphold the integrity and authority of the scriptures. In the process, he probes three questions: How did Mormon doctrines develop? What are the scriptural underpinnings of these doctrines? And what do critical scholars make of these same scriptures? In this enlightening study, Harrell systematically peels back the doctrinal accretions of time to provide a fresh new look at Mormon theology. “This Is My Doctrine” will provide those already versed in Mormonism’s theological tradition with a new and richer perspective of Mormon theology. Those unacquainted with Mormonism will gain an appreciation for how Mormon theology fits into the larger Jewish and Christian theological traditions.

Book Description
One of the most pertinent questions facing students of Mormon Studies is gaining further understanding of the function the Bible played in the composition of Joseph Smith’s primary compositions, the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. With a few notable exceptions, such as Philip Barlow’s Mormons and the Bible and Grant Hardy’s Understanding the Book of Mormon, full-length monographs devoted to this topic have been lacking. This manuscript attempts to remedy this through a close analysis of how Mormon scripture, specifically the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants, integrates the writings of New Testament into its own text. This manuscript takes up the argument that through the rhetoric of allusivity (the allusion to one text by another) Joseph Smith was able to bestow upon his works an authority they would have lacked without the incorporation of biblical language. In order to provide a thorough analysis focused on how Smith incorporated the biblical text into his own texts, this work will limit itself only to those passages in Mormon scripture that allude to the Prologue of John’s gospel (John 1:1-18). The choice of the Prologue of John is due to its frequent appearance throughout Smith’s corpus as well as its recognizable language. This study further argues that the manner in which Smith incorporates the Johannine Prologue is by no means uniform but actually quite creative, taking (at least) four different forms: Echo, Allusion, Expansion, and Inversion. The methodology used in this work is based primarily upon recent developments in intertextual studies of the Bible, an analytical method that has proved to be quite effective in studying later author’s use of earlier texts.

Book Description
Will unbelievers and half-hearted churchgoers have 7 more years to make up their minds about Christ after He raptures the Church? LEFT BEHIND gives them all a 'second chance.' But is that what Jesus taught? His parables of the talents, the wise and foolish virgins, the wheat and the tares, and the faithful and evil servant all show him returning unexpectedly with both rewards and punishments in his hands. Neither the parables nor the plain words of Christ teach a second chance for those surprised by his coming. But LEFT BEHIND does. Few Christians realize LEFT BEHIND tosses aside the teachings of Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, Wesley, Wycliffe and Spurgeon. Read dozens of quotes from these and other respected sources that show LEFT BEHIND strays far from the truths Bible readers have understood for centuries. Author of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ANSWERED VERSE BY VERSE and MORMONS ANSWERED VERSE BY VERSE (Baker Book House), David A. Reed is known worldwide as an expert in refuting false prophecy.

Book Description
How will you answer the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses at your doorstep? They quote Bible verses to support their counterfeit gospel. This Bible features footnotes explaining how Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses twist the Scriptures -- and how to answer them on each point. Unlike the Doorstep Bible Answering Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, on which it is based, this volume features a discreet cover, to avoid exposing the tool in your hand. DAVID A REED served for a decade as a contributing editor of Dr. Walter Martin's Christian Research Journal and has authored some twenty books on Bible topics, including a dozen on Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. His most popular on these two sects are: Mormons Answered Verse by Verse (Baker Book House) and Jehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse (Baker Book House) -- Also published in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Faroese and partially in Arabic This volume includes a modern Bible translation with notes explaining the verses that Mormons and JWs love to quote out of context -- along with notes on other verses they hate to look at because the plain reading of Scripture proves their interpretations wrong. The TOB Bible version used here renders the divine name as Jehovah where the Hebrew name for God - the Tetragrammaton - occurs in the original manuscripts, which is especially useful in responding to both Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. A comparison with the JW New World Translation exposes the presumptuousness of JW translators who inappropriately added "Jehovah" where it does not appear in the original manuscripts - such as at Romans 14:8, for example. Moreover, the appearance of the expression "Jehovah God" throughout the Old Testament disproves polytheistic Mormon claims that the name "Jehovah" and the title "God" (Hebrew Elohim) refer to two different Gods in their pantheon. (See the footnotes at Genesis 2:4 and Deuteronomy 6:4.) Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are quite different theologically, but quite similar in a number of other ways. Theologically, Mormons view the Father, Son and Holy Ghost as three different gods, believe that God the Father was once a man, and believe that their church members will someday become gods, too -- while JWs believe that the Father is God alone, the Son is merely the first angel God created, and the "holy spirit" (which they do not capitalize) is neither God nor a person, but just a force that God uses to get things done. However, the two sects are very similar in a number of ways: Both view theirs as the only true Church, the restoration of true Christianity-and all other churches as apostate false religions. Both originated in the western New York-Pennsylvania area of America during the 1800s. Both send members door-to-door, recruiting new members and spreading their message to your doorstep. Both have produced their own Bible translations with key verses modified or added to fit their unique teachings. Both give lip service to the Bible, but actually put other publications above the Bible as their guide to belief and practice. And, most seriously, both put members into an Old Testament style supposed relationship with God through an organizational hierarchy, rather than a New Testament style personal relationship with God through the risen Christ. Both sects usurp the role of Jesus as Lord, Savior and Mediator by putting their organizational hierarchy in that role instead -- requiring obedience to the organization (so it becomes their 'Lord'), making salvation dependent upon the organization (so it becomes their 'Savior'), and placing the organization in the position of Mediator, acting as God's spokesman or mouthpiece on earth today. This volume will help you "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 1:3 TOB)
