Summary: An excellent, well-documented work
Review: James White has put together a wonderful book in ITMMB. He has culled an enormous amount of material from LDS sources documenting the unique claims of the Mormon church on the subject of God. Despite the shrill objections of some, White's material is thorough and compelling.While it's not a fast read, it's not intended to be. White assembles, step by step, a persuasive case for the irreconcilable differences between Mormonism and historic Christianity. If I had any criticism, it would be that I would have liked to see the final section on the orthodox view of God extended a bit. But perhaps this wasn't the venue for a full-scale defense of the Christian view of God. Beyond that, ITMMB should take an important place in the ongoing dialogue/debate between Christians and LDS.

Summary: A scholarly look at the issues by White
Review: James White provides a scholarly look at the fundamental issues dividing Biblical Christianity and Mormonism. White accurately contends that the essential division between Biblical Christianity and the LDS faith is the difference between monotheism and polytheism. In addition, White points out that insofar as LDS teaching denies the eternality and immutability of God it cannot be understood to be Biblical Christianity. Bravo to White for being a Berean and "searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so". White also encourages all people, LDS and non-LDS alike, to be Bereans as well. Furthermore, White's scholarship is commendable, as he establishes the validity of his sources early in the book. A must for any student of Mormonism honestly seeking the truth from a Biblical perspective.

Summary: Loose arguments...further thought needed.
Review: White doesn't offer truely conherient arguments. He also, in much of his disscussion, violates the first rule of scholarly writing by refusing to properly define his terms...terms like "brother" and "traditional christian" don't seems to have reference to real world concepts. Much stronger works have been written on this important subject.
