72061) Latter-Day Scripture
Author
Language
English
Description
This book is a series of papers presented mainly at the Book of Mormon Round Table. It lays out a case for considering the Mormon scripture as the work of Joseph Smith in the nineteenth century, not an ancient document written by various Israelites in ancient America. But, author Robert M. Price argues, this is merely another case of "pseudepigraphy," the genre of fictive "as if" authorship common to the Bible as well. Price urges readers to a new...

The act of forgiveness is not something that comes easily to most of us. Too often we become angry or judgmental instead of forgiving others. It can be difficult to remember we have all made mistakes or done things we regret, and we would want to be forgiven in turn. Alexander Pope famously wrote, "To err is human; to forgive, divine." It is that divinity that Jesus Christ embodies and to which so many aspire. Jesus's message is one of forgiving anyone,...

The first paragraph of Kerry Ashton's memoir explains a lot:
"I told this story once as fiction in the 1980s, but this time I tell the truth. I even tell the truth, in #MeToo fashion, about being violently raped by another man when I was 18, with a knife held to my throat-a secret I kept from everyone, including myself, for over 40 years. The rape, like other experiences I endured, while a student at Brigham Young University, where I came out in...

This book supports the long-held traditional and biblical position on marriage, divorce and remarriage.

A man and a woman become "one flesh"... for GOOD!

Yet today marriage is widely dishonored.
