Funny, yet Christian Ministers and Scholars are joining the Church all the Time.
Clearly then they see something, as I did also.
By the way, we don't have to "twist" the truth, because the truth is right there in their own words.
Anti's however, twist LDS theology and history, so as to use truth to tell great lies all the time. In fact, so badly so that almost every word is a twisted misrepresentation.
And by the way, you falsely assume we "don't" read the early Church documents themselves. We most certainly do. Those of us who are scholar's and more intellectually inclinded read them ALL THE TIME.
But you people won't read hardly any of our material will you to find out the real truth of things, so you continue spouting your ignorance about us?
Too bad that you have no real Faith to step outside of your boxes.
By the way, let me give you the BIO of Stephen E. Robinson, from the book "Are Mormons Christians".
About the Author
Stephen E. Robinson is eminently qualified to write on the subject of Mormons and Christianity. He recieved a B.A. in English Literature and studied for a master's degree in Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University. He recieved a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Duke University and is currently a professor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University.
The author has taught religion at Hampden-Sydney College (a Presbyterian-related school) and at Duke University and Lycoming College, he served simultaneously as chairman of that school's Religion Department and as Bishop of the LDS ward in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
He is the best-selling author of Believing Christ and Following Christ. A previous publication, The Testament of Adam, was published by the Society of Biblical Literature, and his articles have appeared in the Revue de Qumran, Journal for the Study of Judaism, the Coptic Encyclopedia, The Anchor Bible Dictionary, and The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha.
The author and his wife, Janet Bown Robinson, are the parents of six children. The family resides in Provo, Utah.
This is the "common" type of Education of most LDS scholars.
Yet, you will find almost NONE Anti-Mormon writers that are so qualified.
That should give you a clue the level of professionalism involved.
Why do you think Evangelical scholars Mosser and Owen wrote that Evangelicals were loosing the battle and not knowing it?
It's because they themselves were really the only real professional scholars who have written anything on Mormonism compared to their beliefs.
Of course, I wouldn't necessarily consider them to be anti-mormon, because they are professionals that simply hold a different opinion and don't misrepresent LDS doctrine and history per-se as all others do.
