Exposing Mormonism by its own standards, this concise critique weighs beliefs against scripture and reason.
The Mormon's Own Book: Or, Mormonism Tried by Its Own Standards Reason and Scripture is a critical examination of Mormon doctrine and practice. It argues that Mormon teachings and claims should be tested against biblical truth and rational argument, using the book’s own revelations as the measuring stick. The work focuses on how Mormon authority is claimed, how revelations are used, and how key doctrines compare with traditional Christian orthodoxy. It covers topics such as the nature of God, the role of revelation, priesthood and church offices, and controversial practices, offering a historically grounded critique aimed at readers seeking to understand this movement from a skeptical, scriptural perspective.
