There is probably more misinformation about the relationship of the temple ceremony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Masonry than any other Church subject. This is especially apparent in the many attacks on the LDS Church. Surprisingly, many members of the LDS Church also have false notions.

In this book, Latter-day Saint scholar Gilbert W. Scharffs, Ph.D., discusses the connection between, and answers some of the most common questions about, Mormons and Masons. Whether you are a history enthusiast or merely looking for clarification, you'll find Mormons and Masons both enlightening and faith promoting.

Mormons & Science eBook

Title: Setting the Record Straight: Mormons & Science

Author: Rodney J. Brown, Ph.D

Client: Millennial Press

Date of Work: October 2012

Available for purchase at:ldsebookstore.com
or on Amazon

About the Book:

• How do Mormon feel about and handle scientific research?
        
• Should Latter-day Saints study evolution?
        
• What can science teach us about religious doctrines?
       
• What can science add to the faith of a Latter-day Saint?
        

To members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the search for truth and understanding is a wide-open field. Mormonism embraces all truth, whatever the source or method used to find it.

"Our religion is simply the truth. It is all said in this one expression—it embraces all truth, wherever found, in all the works of God and man that are visible or invisible to mortal eye."  —Brigham Young

The answers to many of our questions are still in the void between faith in science and religious faith. When science and religion arrive at the truth, they will be in perfect agreement with each other.
