Summary: Has large holes
Review: To start off, I think I should state my belief and my asssociation with Mormon(s). I am a Protestant and have been studying Mormon apologetics very often for quite a while. My local library strangely holds only books that concur with orthodox Christianity (only Protestantism), and there are various books that repond to/attack (I'm using that term loosely) Mormonism. So here was this book and the shelves, and I simply couldn't resist. I noticed a few things about the book that made me skeptical. People should be skeptical of a book that claims to 'answer Mormons verse by verse' that is only 150 pages. The other thing is this book seemed to be designed as a 'witness tool' for Evangelistical Christians who feel the need to 'help' Mormons. I always find it ironic in that Mormons see the need to 'help' orthodox Christians too. But I digress, the book is missing scads of important sections and biblical passages. While some of their explainations of biblical passages are good (Their answer to John 10:34 is probably the best worded I have read), there are simply too many sections missing. Baptism is quite noticeably missing. I contacted John Farkas about this, upon which he replied: Hi {xxxx}...As for the book you mentioned, I was not in control of this book or the next one, but the last two I did control. We are also limited in what the publisher will accept in lenght...Only the first one we did, "Mormons Answered....." is still in print. I was in controll of ones that have my name first. And his name wasn't first in this book...so on his part (not on Reeds) I guess it's understandeable. Besides that factor, I also give this book a low rating because of it's design. As noted, it is a 'witness tool'. For someone actually looking to study Mormonism, actually talking to Mormons who have knowledge of the Bible is the best thing to do. Even the 300-400 page 'Reasoning With Mormons From The Scriptures' has some missing pieces. I guess I'm getting sick of people seeing the need to 'witness' to Mormons, and thinking that Mormons are in a cult. How about actually discussing theological issues for a change? Eh....2 stars.
