A Catholic Engagement with Latter Day Saints

• Catholic scholars address topics over which Mormons and Catholics hold contrary beliefs
• Papacy, Eucharist, Trinity, Incarnation, Nature of God, Liturgy, Deification and more
• Lean what this 16 million member religion believes
• Examine LDS and the challenges to our Catholic roots and beliefs
• Grow in understanding in order to dialog and defend your own faith

A collection of Catholic scholars address several theological topics over which Mormons and Catholics hold contrary beliefs: the great apostasy, the papacy, the Eucharist, the Trinity, the incarnation, the nature of God, justification, sainthood, liturgy, and deification. The contributors, some of whom are converts to Catholicism from Mormonism, offer a respectful, though critical, analysis of LDS beliefs.

Catholics have done very little thinking about or interaction with the theological beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons). The Catholic Church has focused virtually all of its ecumenical efforts on the ecclesial communities that arose from the Reformation, the Orthodox Churches, and Judaism. Left out of these discussions has been the Mormon Church, even though it has grown to nearly 16 million members internationally by 2016 from its modest beginnings in 1830.

This work examines the LDS faith as an important and serious challenge to the Catholic narrative of the origin and development of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Absent the ad hominem attacks and lurid historical details that are often found in popular Christian assessments of the LDS Church, this book is intended by its editors to lead to further dialogue and better understanding.
