Dr. Richard J. Mouw

“Mormonism and Traditional Christianity: A Report on an Ongoing Dialogue”

From its humble beginings in the early decades of the 19th Century, Mormonism has become in modern times one of the fastest growing religious movements in the world. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presentlly claims 15 million adherents around the world.

For the past eleven years, a group of Evangelical scholars has been meeting regularly with an equal number of LDS counterparts to discuss topics that have long divided Mormons and traditional Christians. The dialogue has been led by Richard Mouw of Fuller Theological Seminary and Robert Millet of Brigham Young University.

This is a report on that ongoing dialogue from Richard Mouw.
