Incorporating the most recent research and solid biblical truth, Letters To A Mormon Elder is a series of personal letters written to a fictional Mormon missionary. Examining the teaching and theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the book brings a relational approach to material usually presented in textbook style. James White draws from his extensive apologetics ministry to thousands of Mormons in presenting the truth of Christianity. With well-defined arguments, James White provides readers with insight and understanding into:
- The Book of Mormon.
- The prophecies, visions, and teachings of Joseph Smith.
- Other major historical issues relevant to the claims of the LDS Church.
- The theological implications of the doctrines of Mormonism.
