"How Wide the Divide?" by Craig L. Blomberg & Stephen E. Robinson

There is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion between Mormons and other Christians, especially Evangelicals. It’s quite surprising how much we all have in common with regard our doctrine. Unfortunately these similarities are generally overshadowed by our preconceived notions of the other party. This book attempts to address the similarities and differences between the Mormon and Evangelical faiths in a respectful and informed manner. Stephen E. Robinson (author of Believing Christ) joins doctor of biblical studies, Craig L Blomberg, in an effort to discuss the two faiths. The discourse is highly informative and very cordial. Though neither back down on their convictions, the authors do so in a respectful manner which shows that they are truly attempting to understand the counterargument rather than find another scripture with which to counter. It gives one hope that some day we can put aside our differences long enough to just be friends and fellow Christians.
