This is an affordable reprint of the 2005 classic hardbound edition that is selling well over $100 per copy!"Adam ... is our Father and our God"This 1852 general conference declaration introduced Mormondom's most hotly divisive religious dispute that continues to ignite controversy today - Adam-God teachings. Labeled among the seven deadly heresies by apostle Bruce R. McConkie after being heralded as "the most important revelation ever oracle" in a book co-authored by Joseph Smith's acclaimed plural wife, Eliza R. Snow, Adam-God teachings have been a rage of controversy for over 150 years.For the first time, every known statement concerning Adam-God teachings has been compiled, documented, organized, and presented to the reader in a way that will withstand serious academic scrutiny.For the first time, Adam-God teachings have been presented in a sensitive reading environment that allows the reader to study the original Adam-God statements without the pressure of reading the author's personal interpretations - the author's thoughtful insights have been separated into analysis sections following the original sources.For the first time, Eve's role in Adam-God teachings has been prominently considered.For the first time, the changes in Mormonism's theological teachings surrounding the identity of Jehovah have been meticulously researched and documented.With scores of previously unpublished statements and a carefully organized presentation, Understanding Adam-God Teachings promises to be the definitive resource volume for readers who have previously only had limited access to the hundreds of statements surrounding this controversial topic. This assiduous treatment of this fallow field of theology will prove to be an enriching and insightful read for the believer and non-believer alike.If you email (or FB message) the author, he'll send you a PDF with the few quotes that have been discovered since this book was printed over a decade ago (with proof of purchase - a screenshot is fine).

Missionaries are taunted with it; investigators and recent converts are challenged with it; lifelong members are often puzzled with it-the charge that Mormons are not Christians. Unless we understand the basis for the charge, we are not prepared to deal with it. This book explains each of the arguments used against Latter-day Saints, and demonstrates beyond dispute-using non-LDS authorities-that these arguments are based on false premises. The definitive work on the subject, this book is a must for every LDS home.

"Nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints looked forward to apocalyptic events that would unseat corrupt governments across the globe but would particularly decimate the tyrannical government of the United States. Mormons turned to prophecies of divine deliverance by way of plagues, natural disasters, foreign invasions, American Indian raids, slave uprisings, or civil war unleashed on American cities and American people ... Blythe examines apocalypticism across the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints particularly as it would take shape in localized and personalized forms in the writings and visions of ordinary Latter-day Saints outside of the Church's leadership"--
