What a fascinating series of comment on my “Are Mormons Christians?” provocation. I have several things to say in response. First I want to explain my admittedly (and deliberately) extreme formulation from yesterday, i.e., “not even close.” Though I think my boss could have done a much better job in making the case,...

Once Again: Are Mormons Christians?
Thursday, June 10th, 2004
It’s been a bear of a day at work (editing 70 text pages of correspondence for the magazine), so I’m going to have to be somewhat short today.

I hope it is understood that I cannot possibly respond to all, or most, or even more... Read More »
An Addendum
Monday, June 7th, 2004
After I wrote my earlier post, I realized I should have been more precise about something. I know that all orthodox faiths place limits on philosophical reflection. For example, an orthodox Catholic is not free to speculate about whether God is Trinity or whether abortion is actually a virtue. But I... Read More »
Mormonism: The Postmodern Faith
Monday, June 7th, 2004

As Russell notes, I spent two years teaching at BYU, and have enjoyed dozens of email exchanges about LDS-related matters with the handful... Read More »
