The New Mormon Challenge
Zondervan,
Current facts about Mormonism
*Over 11 million members.
*Over 60,000 full-time missionariesmore than any other single missionary-sending organization in the world.
*More than 310,000 converts annually.
*As many as eighty percent of converts come from Protestant backgrounds. (In Mormon circles, the saying is, 'We baptize a Baptist church every week.')
*Within fifteen years, the numbers of missionaries and converts will roughly double.
*Within eighty years, with adherents exceeding 267 million, Mormonism could become the first world-religion to arise since Islam.
You may know the statistics. What you probably don't know are the advances the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is making in apologetics and academic respectability.
With superb training, Mormon scholars outclass many of their opponents. Arguments against Mormon claims are increasingly refuted as outdated, misinformed, or poorly argued.
The New Mormon Challenge is a response to the burgeoning challenge of scholarly Mormon apologetics. Written by a team of respected Christian scholars, it is free of caricature, sensationalism, and diatribe. The respectful tone and responsible, rigorous, yet readable scholarship set this book in a class of its own.
The New Mormon Challenge recycles no previous material and duplicates no one's efforts. Instead, responding to the best LDS scholarship, it offers freshly researched and well-documented rebuttals of Mormon truth claims. Most of the chapter topics have never been addressed, and the criticisms and arguments are almost entirely new. But The New Mormon Challenge does not merely challenge Mormon beliefs; it offers the LDS Church and her members ways to move forward.
