Johnson, a ordained Baptist pastor from Utah and a former Mormon, meet and begin their own conversation.

ADVANCED CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY
Miracle of Forgiveness, by Spencer. W. Kimball
	Written for those who truly want to understand sin, its affects on the human spirit, the consequences of the unrepentant, and the breathtaking forgivness that can only come through the Atonement of Christ--Spencer W. Kimball tells it like it is, using the scriptures to illuminate and illustrate key points. Kimball's approach to recognizing and dealing with bad choices and accountability is sorely needed in our ever wandering society of today. Not for the faint of heart, this book pulls no punches and is void of any watered-down "feel good" philosophies that often accompany books on this all important subject. We as humans are imperfect, are likely to sin, and can come to experience the miracle of forgiveness through the sacrifice of the Savior Jesus Christ by way of repentance. If you want the plain truth about sin and forgiveness, than this book is for you.
Jesus the Christ (Collector's Edition), by James E. Talmage
Jesus the Christ, Collector's Editio... James E. Talmage	"Jesus the Christ" is one of the classics in Christian theology, written in the Holy Temple at the hand of the apostle James E. Talmage. Commissioned by a prophet of God and written nearly 100 years ago, this timeless work was meant to be a comprehensive reference and Church textbook and is one of the few approved books for missionaries to read while serving a mission. This book covers every major aspect of Jesus Christ starting with Christ in the premortal existence; his mortal ministry in Palestine; his infinite atonement, and finally his post mortal ministry in the Spirit Word. This is a work of advanced Christian doctrine which will require a dictionary nearby given the exquisite language used by Talmage.
Lectures on Faith, by Joseph Smith
Lectures on Faith Joseph Smith	The lessons popularly known as the Lectures on Faith were originally delivered to a class of Church leaders in the winter of 1834. They consist of seven theological and doctrinal treatises prepared chiefly by the Prophet Joseph Smith and were written so as to give instruction about the faith needed to enable one to fully understand and obtain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The lectures are logically and systematically arranged and scripturally based. Their purpose, as stated in the first lecture, is "designed to unfold to the understanding the doctrine of Jesus Christ." Elder Bruce R. McConkie has appraised the lectures as "some of the best lesson material ever prepared on the Godhead; on the character, perfections, and attributes of God; on faith, miracles, and sacrifice. They can be studied with great profit by all gospel scholars."
Articles of Faith, by James E. Talmage
	When the editor of the Chicago Democrat newspaper asked Joseph Smith about Mormonism in 1842, the church founder responded with a short history and a list of doctrinal statements identifying the basic tenets of the faith. This short list became known as the Articles of Faith. In 1899 James Talmage published his ground-breaking treatise that bore the same name-a book that has been a standard of Christian thought for over a century. Topics include the nature of God, the Atonement of Jesus Christ, sacraments and ordinances, Zion, the purpose of modern day scriptures, and humankind in the nation, church, and the cosmos. This facsimile reproduction of Talmage's original work includes an explanatory introduction by Talmage scholar James Harris and a special appendix that reprints Talmage's 1930 revision of the Doctrine and Covenants called Latter-day Revelation.
