APOLOGETICS :: LDS WEBSITE DIRECTORY

Defending the LDS faith

CATEGORY: LDS Directory :: Apologetics

Apologetics is generally considered to be the branch of theology concerned with the defense or proof of Christianity. While Mormons consider themselves to be true Christians in every way, unfortunately, most of their attackers are Christian denominations. Therefore, with respect to LDS apologetics, Mormon apologists are dedicated to standing as a witness of Christ and His Restored Church by addressing and defending the charges leveled at the doctrines, practices and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with documented responses.

Apologists use current scholarship, scripture, Church doctrine, historical literature and sound logic in constructing faithful, well-reasoned answers.

Jeff Lindsay - EVIDENCE for the Book of Mormon

http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDSFAQ/index.html

Such evidence does not and should not equal "proof," but represents indications of plausibility that demand further attention.
