Author Warren Mueller has read the Bible daily since 1979. He
has served as a deacon, a Sunday school teacher, and a member of
the Gideons International. With Truth Seeker: Bible Topics, he
hopes to provide clarity regarding what the Bible says about many
popular subjects in a succinct and objective format.
"Truth Seeker: Bible Topics" offers a concise summary of what
the Bible says about over thirty practical living and theological
topics and includes many Bible quotes to provide additional
information on each topic. There are questions at the end of each
chapter that can help to facilitate Sunday school class or small
group discussions. This helpful guide covers a wide variety of
topics, including angels, abortion, eating and drinking, gambling,
heaven, money, spiritual gifts, swearing, and worry.
Much of the controversy that surrounds the interpretations of
what the Bible says stem from a lack of systematic study, the use
of verses out of context, or attempts to extrapolate truth beyond
what is clearly stated. In order to avoid these pitfalls and
determine a fair interpretation, Warren Mueller attempts to explain
some of the truths of the Bible that are relevant to our human
nature, thoughts, and purposes today.
Are Mormons Christians? What do they believe? How do their
beliefs compare with other Christian religions?
I have been impressed by the dedication of Mormon missionaries,
the beauty of the Mormon Tablernacle Choir and the majestic
architecture of Mormon temples. I have known several Mormons and
they seem to be family oriented people who live out their faith in
tangilble ways. As American culture drifts towards situation ethics
and values based on surveys, Mormons are like other Christians in
that they tend to be conservative and look to their Church and
Scriptures for guidance. This interest and curiosity led me to
study Mormon scriptures and compare them with the Bible. Each
chapter of "Truth Seeker: Mormon Scriptures & The Bible" is a
summary of each of the books that make up The Book Of Mormon, The
Pearl of Great Price and Doctrines & Covenants. This is
followed by a discussion of internal inconsistencies, differences
from the Bible and historical problems. In order to provide a
balanced discussion, the views of a devout Mormon, Dr. Jordan
Jensen, are included. Brigham Young University and Latter-day Saint
(LDS) web sites were used to answer questions I still had after
completing my review and to fill in gaps in my understanding of
some doctrines and beliefs. The result of these efforts is a book
that provides insights into Mormonism and how it compares and
deviates from other Christian churches. The essence of the
deviations are founded in the idea that Mormonism extends,
clarifies and sometimes replaces Biblical teachings based on
revelations given to Joseph Smith and subsequent LDS prophets.
