Publisher's Synopsis
A Philosophical Response to the Book of Mormon and LDS Doctrine was written by the author to build what he felt was a lack of philosophical material addressing the very "keystone" of the Mormon religion. LDS Apologetics have taught unopposed that the Book of Mormon divinely addresses the moral and metaphysical controversies of the early 19th century up to the present day. By this work and its compiled essays, the author is determined to simply and concisely present this initial rebuttal to the LDS narrative, displaying plainly the logical absurdity, moral deplorability, and contradictory nature of the doctrines of the LDS Church. Collected together are 9 essays ranging in topics from the LDS position on the Euthyphro Dilemma to the immorality of the LDS Plan of Salvation doctrine. Essays are heavy in LDS resources while also bringing in material from the works of Plato, Spinoza, Kant, Schopenhauer, F. H. Bradley, and Michael Martin. While the material establishes strong footing in LDS scripture and doctrine, the essays are easy and satisfying to read for both the non-Mormon and LDS Apologetic alike.
