Publisher's Synopsis
""A Fourfold Test of Mormonism"" is a book written by Henry C. Sheldon that explores the fundamental beliefs of the Mormon religion and subjects them to a rigorous examination. The book is divided into four parts, each of which represents a different test that the author believes is necessary in order to determine the validity of Mormonism. The first test is a historical examination of the origins of the religion, including the life of its founder, Joseph Smith. The second test is a theological examination of the core beliefs of the Mormon faith, including the nature of God and the role of Jesus Christ. The third test is a moral examination of the teachings and practices of the Mormon Church, including its stance on issues such as marriage and family values. The fourth and final test is a spiritual examination of the personal experiences of Mormons and their relationship with God. Throughout the book, Sheldon presents a critical and objective analysis of Mormonism, drawing on a variety of sources including historical documents, scripture, and personal interviews. He raises important questions and challenges readers to think deeply about their own beliefs and the beliefs of others. Overall, ""A Fourfold Test of Mormonism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a comprehensive overview of the Mormon religion and its place in the broader religious landscape. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the beliefs and practices of the Mormon Church, as well as for those interested in the broader questions of faith, morality, and spirituality.1914.
