The Mormon Faith: a Theological Assessment William W. Wells

Mormons hold that they should be considered "Christian." Evangelicals dispute that claim vigorously. Conversations between Evangelicals and Mormons on the subject have often been hostile and cantankerous. The author of The Mormon Faith avoids the unpleasant tone of most such discussions and offers instead a civil and respectful presentation of ideas. He holds that historical and biographical issues are really a diversion and that theology is the key to the discussion. So, he provides a brief presentation of Mormon history early in the book - but only long enough to set the theological discussion in context. The rest of the book focuses on the essential of the two theological positions.
