Faith and Intellect: The Lives and Contributions of Latter-day Saint Thinkers
Autor Leonard J Arringtonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2019 – vârsta ani
Joseph Smith was not the first to found a Christian denomination, but his addition of a new book of scripture on par with the Bible set him and his movement apart. Even before 1830, Smith was both dismissed and admired, embraced and rejected. But most observers agree that he has rightfully earned a significant place in American religious history. Many of the followers he attracted in his day and after have also helped to shape LDS thought. This volume highlights the lives and contributions of Smith, his successor Brigham Young, and eleven others, including Lowell Bennion, Claudia L. Bushman, Hugh Nibley, Chieko Okazaki, B. H. Roberts, James E. Talmage, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, and Emmeline B. Wells. All together, the women and men profiled here span the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and illuminate what the LDS Church has meant, and continues to mean, to its most thoughtful members.

Excerpt:
“These essays are written in the historical tradition of exemplary lives. I try to give a vision of greatness in both intellect and faith among selected LDS leaders. The men and women described are human beings, with observable imperfections, but they exhibited, I believe, intellectual vitality, spiritual power, and moral courage, and appealed to ‘the better angels of our nature.’ God’s spirit shone through their writings and actions.”
