Welcome to
studychristianity.com
Studychristianity.com is a place of learning and exploration into
the basic Christian doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) as found in the Bible and reinforced in
the book The Biblical Roots of Mormonism written by Eric
Shuster and Charles Sale (Cedar Fort, 2010). This website provides
short excerpts from the book, along with essays from the
Sword Series™ library, to create a
platform for further study and examination. In doing so there is hope
that a greater dialogue can take place among Christians of all
denominations to share their faith, explore beliefs and find common
ground on which to build lasting relationships of positive community
influence, trust, friendship and moral character.

The Biblical Roots of Mormonism - The Book
The
Biblical Roots of Mormonism is the result of deep immersion into the
Bible by author Eric Shuster where meticulous recording and
examination of individual Old and New Testament scriptural passages
took place over several years. The purpose of the in-depth study was
twofold: 1) to understand if the doctrines of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) could stand alone on the Bible
for its theological support; and 2) to create a framework in which
Mormons and other Christians could dialogue to find common values and
theological beliefs on which to build relationships of spiritual
respect and trust. The result, co-authored by Charles Sale, is a work
that is both a reference and a cover-to-cover read that enlightens and
illuminates towards increased understanding among the faithful in
Jesus Christ. |
