{"product_id":"the-bible-and-the-latter-day-taylor-g-petrey-9781647690977","title":"The Bible and the Latter-Day Saint Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003e Like other Christian denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been engaged in the battle for the Bible since challenges to biblical authority began to exert significant influence in America toward the end of the nineteenth century. Other believing communities have responded with various reevaluations of the biblical text. Latter-day Saints have experimented with similar approaches, often taking liberal positions on biblical authority and conservative positions on history and authorship. However, Latter-day Saints accept additional scripture and embrace a theology notably distinct from traditional Christianity. Hence, they relate to the Bible differently from other Christians, creating gaps with mainstream biblical studies. This volume bridges that gap. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From comparing the Book of Mormon to the Bible or the Dead Sea Scrolls, to Mormon feminists' views on the Gospels, this volume takes a comprehensive and inclusive approach to understanding Bible scholarship's role in Mormon history, exploring these differences for both scholars and students. A diverse group of contributors presents an accessible resource to mediate between Latter-day Saint traditions and the broader context of biblical history, literature, and scholarship. Each essay provides a synopsis of relevant major scholarly views and delivers new insights into varied crosscurrents of biblical studies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor G.
