"Much of this book reads like an extended love letter, not one from the lover to his beloved, but from the lover to his family explaining what he loves about her and responding to the family s objections.[Webb] is a readable writer, quite capable of explaining technical philosophical ideas in nonphilosophical terms.I strongly recommend Webb's book, not just to the non-Mormons at whom it is aimed but also to Mormons. Latter-day Saints will learn a great deal about Catholicism by reading it.Webb's book offers non-Mormons a love letter explaining why he loves Mormons and giving them reasons why they might also."--Mormon Studies Review "Webb addresses readers unfamiliar with Mormonism as a fellow Christian, rather than in a more traditional, academic non-partisan tone that might be expected from a book bearing a university press's imprint. Webb's generous tone and easy to understand rhetoric ensure that Mormon Christianity will be accessible to both Mormons and Christians -- he represents some of the very best of the Robert Millett/Richard Mouw type of Mormon/Christian dialogue in printed word. All in all, Mormon Christianity is an excellent introduction to Mormon theology, and will be useful to teach undergraduates as well as lay Christians (and Mormons) about Mormon beliefs.

" --The Juvenile Instructor "Whether or not one agrees with Mormonism's teachings and theology, those interested in learning its nuances and relationship to the larger Christian community likely will profit from Mr. Webb's work. It's a fascinating subject, and one Mr. Webb covers with a penetrating, thought-provoking approach." --Washington Times "An excellent example of philosophical theology that will likely be appreciated by Mormons and non-Mormons alike for years to come."--BYU Studies Quarterly "Ever since the Mormon Tabernacle Choir won the silver medal in the 1893 World's Fair, Mormons have been more renowned for their cultural than their theological contributions. In this intelligent, articulate, and highly readable volume, Stephen Webb begins to address that imbalance, bringing Mormonism into conversation with the wider Christian tradition in fresh and sometimes startling ways." - Terryl L.

Givens, Co-author of The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life "Mormon Christianity is truly a ground-breaking work. It's winsome, intelligent, and generous account of the Latter-day Saints and their faith sets a new standard in interreligious dialogue. Although one may find oneself on occasion disagreeing with the author-as I do on a few points-I cannot think of a more careful presentation of the LDS worldview and the sorts of challenges and promises it brings to both Mormons and Traditional Christians alike." - Francis J. Beckwith, Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, and Resident Scholar in the Institute for Studies of Religion, Baylor University "At once domestic and exotic, Mormon thought does not nest easily into any of the usual categories with which scholars describe Western metaphysics. This has attracted the intrepid and wide-ranging gaze of Stephen Webb, an evangelical convert to Roman Catholicism. Probing beneath crude superficialities, his analysis will provoke debate. Webb argues with imaginative brilliance that Mormonism's 'big ideas' recover, challenge, and expand-rather than exceed-the bounds of Christian orientations to reality.

The Mormon metaphysic thus demands a rethinking of many aspects of Christian history and tradition." - Philip Barlow, Leonard J. Arrington Professor of Mormon History & Culture, Utah State University "This is a sophisticated step in what can be a long-term conversation." --Library Journal "Groundbreaking work.highly recommended essential reading." --Publishers Weekly.
