Book excerpt: Eugene England (1933-2001)—one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals in modern Mormonism—lived in the crossfire between religious tradition and reform. This first serious biography, by leading historian Terryl L. Givens, shimmers with the personal tensions felt deeply by England during the turmoil of the late twentieth century. Drawing on unprecedented access to England's personal papers, Givens paints a multifaceted portrait of a devout Latter-day Saint whose precarious position on the edge of church hierarchy was instrumental to his ability to shape the study of modern Mormonism. A professor of literature at Brigham Young University, England also taught in the Church Educational System. And yet from the sixties on, he set church leaders' teeth on edge as he protested the Vietnam War, decried institutional racism and sexism, and supported Poland's Solidarity movement—all at a time when Latter-day Saints were ultra-patriotic and banned Black ordination. England could also be intemperate, proud of his own rectitude, and neglectful of political realities and relationships, and he was eventually forced from his academic position. His last days, as he suffered from brain cancer, were marked by a spiritual agony that church leaders were unable to help him resolve.

Book Synopsis Yet to Be Revealed by : Eric A. Eliason

Download or read book Yet to Be Revealed written by Eric A. Eliason. This book was released on 2021-09-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important part of discipleship is knowing what questions to ask-and which ones have not yet been adequately answered. From the beginning to recent times, prophets have reminded the Saints that the Restoration is ongoing, not an event. Our purpose in assembling this collection of essays is simple: we wish to celebrate the miracle of continuing revelation, and the promise of more to come, that God will "yet reveal many great and important things." This means that the essays selected for inclusion represent only a few of the hundreds of possible subjects.Ours is an effort to clarify some of the hazy borders of orthodoxy and to honor the dynamism, the richness, and the possibilities of a Restoration still very much in process of unfolding. Joseph Smith taught, "By proving contraries truth is manifest." A fuller understanding of truth can come by keeping multiple perspectives in mind and letting them work themselves out in patience and God's own time, like fruitful leaven.Topics include:What is the nature of God's progress?Where did Book of Mormon events take place?What is women's relationship to priesthood?Is God subject to or the creator of eternal law?Will things get better or worse before the Second Coming?Was Jesus married?Is the Song of Solomon scripture?How was the Book of Mormon translated?

This 12 week study equips women to grow in confidence in prayer, and to read the scriptures through the revelation of the Holy Spirit in 5 days a week personal study.

Download or read book Heaven Revealed written by Paul P. Enns. This book was released on 2011-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are so many questions in life, but few are as universal as this: "What is the afterlife like?" For those who have put their hope and trust in Jesus Christ here on earth, heaven awaits. Addressing questions as basic as What will we do there? and What is it like?, theologian Dr. Paul Enns dives deep into the Scriptures while reflecting on the very personal nature of what is to come. Heaven Revealed is a helpful, easy-to-read guidebook for Christians as well as an encouragement for those of us who are left here on earth after our Christian loved ones fall asleep in the Lord. Follow along as Dr. Enns succinctly leads you through what the Bible has to say about heaven. In grief, we all need hope—hope for our loved ones who are now gone, and hope for ourselves as eternity looms closer. Heaven should be something to look forward to, not something to be confused about.
