Publisher's Synopsis

The author presents a fourfold test that he believes can be used to evaluate the truthfulness of Mormonism. The four tests include the scriptural test, the historical test, the rational test, and the experimental test. The scriptural test examines the teachings of the Book of Mormon and other Mormon scriptures to determine if they align with the teachings of the Bible. The historical test looks at the origins of the Mormon religion and the life of its founder, Joseph Smith, to determine if the religion has a legitimate historical basis. The rational test evaluates the logical consistency of Mormon beliefs and practices, while the experimental test examines the personal experiences of Mormons to determine if their faith brings them true happiness and fulfillment.Throughout the book, Sheldon provides detailed analysis of each of these tests and offers his own conclusions about the validity of the Mormon religion. He also includes personal anecdotes and experiences to illustrate his points and make the book more relatable to readers.
