In a remarkable display of growth, the Mormon Church boasts over 11 million members, with more than 60,000 full-time missionaries spreading its message worldwide. This staggering number of missionaries has led to an impressive 310,000 converts annually, with a significant 80% of them hailing from Protestant backgrounds. As the Church continues to expand, it's estimated that within 15 years, the number of missionaries and converts will double, and in 80 years, Mormonism could potentially become the first new world religion since Islam, with a projected 267 million adherents. However, what's often overlooked is the Church's significant strides in apologetics and academic credibility. Mormon scholars, armed with exceptional training, are outshining their opponents, rendering many anti-Mormon arguments outdated, misinformed, or poorly constructed. In response to this rising challenge, a team of esteemed Christian scholars has crafted "The New Mormon Challenge," a groundbreaking work that sets a new standard for respectful, rigorous, and accessible scholarship. This book presents freshly researched and meticulously documented rebuttals of Mormon truth claims, tackling topics that have never been addressed before. Rather than simply critiquing Mormon beliefs, "The New Mormon Challenge" offers the LDS Church and its members a path forward, providing a deeper understanding of the intellectual appeal of Mormonism while exposing the fundamental weaknesses of its worldview. Whether you're sharing the gospel with Mormons or exploring Mormonism yourself, this book will equip you with a nuanced understanding of the faith and the superiority of historic Christianity. With its outstanding scholarship and sound methodology, "The New Mormon Challenge" is an ideal textbook that will captivate both Christians and Mormons with its fascinating discussions on biblical, historical, scientific, philosophical, and theological topics. As a pioneering work in its field, it exemplifies Christian scholarship at its finest. The esteemed editors, Francis J. Beckwith, Carl Mosser, and Paul Owen, have assembled a team of respected scholars, including Craig L. Blomberg, William Lane Craig, and J. P. Moreland, to create a work that, as Richard Mouw notes, "models respectful and meaningful exploration of a viewpoint with which we disagree on key points."
