Mormon Philosophy Simplified takes a readable approach to the foundational underpinnings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Accessible for members of the Church and non-members alike, this book takes classic questions in philosophy and provides responses based on the philosophical teachings of Joseph Smith, LDS scholars, and modern Mormon thinkers. There is a huge gap between the colorful world of Mormon academia and the average member, to the point that the two groups have difficulties engaging with one another. So while most books on Mormon thought rotate around complex Mormon history and require a high academic background, this book exists as a bridge allowing anyone the tools, background, context, detail, and permission to think deeply about the most existential questions we are all faced with. In Mormon culture, we find a sort of caricature of Mormon fundamentalism, but in Mormon thought, we find philosophical gems from the late teaching of Joseph Smith, expanded by the Pratt Brothers, and organized by scholars James E. Talmage and B.H. Roberts. Readers will enjoy exploring the depths of Mormon theology not addressed in modern-day manuals or press releases and will be surprised at what Mormonism has to offer when asking such questions as what is the nature of God, how powerful is God, when does life begin, why do things exist, why does evil exist, what is beauty, what is right and wrong and how can we distinguish between the two, how do we learn, what is the nature of the universe, what is the nature of eternal relationships, what is sin, how much free will we have, what is the nature of man, and other such questions that have kept man from proper sleep since the beginning of time. It outlines as simply as possible how Mormonism would respond if it were a student in a Philosophy 101 class. This book presents an entire philosophical system from top to bottom for anyone wanting to better understand the metaphysical foundation of Mormonism. The result is an invitation for all of us to evaluate our own personal philosophies and live an examined life worth living. Philosophy is a study of the good life, and we all need a little bit more good in our lives.

Outlines of Mormon Philosophy or the Answers Given by the Gospel, as Revealed Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, to the Questions of Life was created for study instead of reading. A scholarly reader, who can induce a thought into experience, will find it a sizeable work, abundantly illustrated with pictures such as no painter ever transferred to canvas, and that reader will learn from it. Because of the nature of the subject, this book will tell the whole beautiful story of life.

A mere two hundred years old, Mormonism is still in its infancy compared to other theological disciplines (Judaism, Catholicism, Buddhism, etc.). This volume will introduce its reader to the rich blend of theological viewpoints that exist within Mormonism. The essays break new ground in Mormon studies by exploring the vast expanse of philosophical territory left largely untouched by traditional approaches to Mormon theology. It presents philosophical and theological essays by many of the finest minds associated with Mormonism in an organized and easy-to-understand manner and provides the reader with a window into the fascinating diversity amongst Mormon philosophers. Open-minded students of pure religion will appreciate this volume’s thoughtful inquiries. These essays were delivered at the first conference of the Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology.

This book is a philosophical book on Mormonism by Mormon author and scientist Joseph Widtsoe. Widtsoe writes based on his conviction that there is no real difference between science and religion. He opines that, "The great, fundamental laws of the Universe are foundation stones in religion as well as in science. The principle that matter is indestructible belongs as much to theology as to geology. The theology which rests upon the few basic laws of nature is unshakable; and the great theology of the future will be such a one."

"Outlines of Mormon Philosophy" is a seminal painting that delves deep into the philosophical underpinnings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Authored with the aid of outstanding early Mormon leader and philosopher James E. Talmage, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the non-secular, doctrinal, and philosophical concepts that form Mormonism. In "Outlines of Mormon Philosophy," Talmage explores essential subjects along with the nature of God, the pre-lifestyles of souls, the everlasting development of humanity, and the idea of divine reason. He also addresses key theological thoughts specific to Mormonism, such as the plan of salvation, the position of Jesus Christ, and the importance of temples and ordinances. Talmage's work stands as a testament to his scholarship and dedication to articulating the difficult theological and philosophical framework of the LDS Church. This book has performed an essential position in supporting both Mormons and non-Mormons recognize the intensity and complexity of Mormon thought. "Outlines of Mormon Philosophy" remains a treasured resource for theologians, students of faith, and all and sundry interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the philosophical foundations of Mormonism. Talmage's lucid and concept-provoking exploration of those philosophical themes maintains to contribute to the continuing discourse about the beliefs and teachings of the LDS Church.

The book traces the essential contours of Mormon thought as it developed from Joseph Smith to the present. Terryl L. Givens, one of the nation's foremost Mormon scholars, offers a sweeping account of the history of Mormon belief, revealing that Mormonism is a tradition still very much in the process of formation."--Provided by the publisher.

Current facts about Mormonism: Over 11 million members. Over 60,000 full-time missionaries—more 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. 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. The New Mormon Challenge will help you understand the intellectual appeal of Mormonism, and it will reveal many of the fundamental weaknesses of the Mormon worldview. Whether you are sharing the gospel with Mormons or are investigating Mormonism for yourself, this book will help you accurately understand Mormonism and see the superiority of the historic Christian faith. Outstanding scholarship and sound methodology make this an ideal textbook. The biblical, historical, scientific, philosophical, and theological discussions are fascinating and will appeal to Christians and Mormons alike. Exemplifying Christian scholarship at its best, The New Mormon Challenge pioneers a new genre of literature on Mormonism. The Editors Francis J. Beckwith, Carl Mosser, and Paul Owen are respected authorities on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the authors of various books and significant articles on Mormonism. With contributors including such respected scholars as Craig L. Blomberg, William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, and others, The New Mormon Challenge is, as Richard Mouw states in his foreword, “an important event for both Protestant evangelicals and Mormons” that models “to the evangelical community what it is like to engage in respectful and meaningful exploration of a viewpoint with which we disagree on key points.”

Contemporary research in philosophy of religion is dominated by traditional problems such as the nature of evil, arguments against theism, issues of foreknowledge and freedom, the divine attributes, and religious pluralism. This volume instead focuses on unrepresented and underrepresented issues in the discipline. The essays address how issues like race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, feminist and pantheist conceptions of the divine, and nonhuman animals connect to existing issues in philosophy of religion. By staking out new avenues for future research, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars in analytic philosophy of religion and analytic philosophical theology.

The Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers includes both academic and non-academic philosophers, anda large number of female and minority thinkers whose work has been neglected. It includes those intellectualsinvolved in the development of psychology, pedagogy, sociology, anthropology, education, theology, politicalscience, and several other fields, before these disciplines came to be considered distinct from philosophy in thelate nineteenth century.Each entry contains a short biography of the writer, an exposition and analysis of his or her doctrines and ideas, abibliography of writings, and suggestions for further reading. While all the major post-Civil War philosophers arepresent, the most valuable feature of this dictionary is its coverage of a huge range of less well-known writers,including hundreds of presently obscure thinkers. In many cases, the Dictionary of Modern AmericanPhilosophers offers the first scholarly treatment of the life and work of certain writers. This book will be anindispensable reference work for scholars working on almost any aspect of modern American thought.
