Are Latter-day Saints Christian, or do they
worship a different Jesus? In this engaging book, Robert Millet clearly
explains why Latter-day Saints claim to be Christians and compares their
understanding of Jesus with the views of traditional Christian
believers. A leading Mormon scholar who has spent much of his career
in conversation with traditional Christians and their writings, Millet
discusses what constitutes Christianity and examines how the Latter-day
Saints fit or do not fit within that rubric.
Intended to inform
rather than to convince or persuade, "A Different Jesus?" clears away
misconceptions and doctrinal distortions that characterize more
polemical works about Mormonism. Millet points out the many beliefs that
Latter-day Saints hold in common with traditional Christians, yet he
also emphasizes differences where they exist.
