About this title

Synopsis

Exposing the claims of the Book of Mormon and the Latter-Day Saints through careful, Bible-grounded argument.

This nonfiction work presents a vicar’s critical examination of Mormon beliefs, focusing on the nature of the Church, its scriptures, and its claims to new revelation. It contrasts the Book of Mormon with the Bible and discusses how these claims sit beside established Christian teaching.

Written as a forthright, historically grounded critique, the text argues that certain Mormon doctrines contradict key New Testament passages and traditional Christian understanding. It also analyzes how proponents interpret scripture and prophecy, and what that means for faith communities today.

• Clear, point‑by‑point scrutiny of core Mormon claims and their scriptural basis
• Comparisons between the Book of Mormon and the Bible, with emphasis on traditional Christian doctrine
• Discussion of how religious claims are evaluated and tested against Scripture
• Concluding reflections on faith, authority, and what constitutes a true church

Ideal for readers interested in a historical, polemical view of Mormonism and its place in Christian discourse.
