• How do Mormon feel about and handle scientific research?

• 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.

Author: Jessie L. Embry

Client: Millennial Press

Date of Work: August 2012

Available for purchase at: ldsebookstore.com
or on Amazon

About the Book:

One of the most misunderstood aspects of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is its practice of plural marriage during the nineteenth century.

In the twenty-first century members of the Church and those outside the faith have had a hard time comprehending why early Latter-day Saints agreed to a marriage pattern so foreign to their traditional Victorian values. This book looks at the reasons they did so.

In addition, it answers some of the common questions about Mormons and polygamy. How long did the practice continue? How many wives did Mormons have? Did all Mormon men marry multiple wives? How did men, women, and children feel about the practice? Scholar and historian Jessie L. Embry examines the answers to these and other questions.
