Hoekema - The Four Major Cults","","Mormonism presents a structured analysis of the LDS movement, beginning with a concise history and the organization of the Mormon Church, including contemporary membership figures. It then examines where Mormons place their authority, outlining the Bible’s role alongside the Book of Mormon, additional sacred books, and later revelations. The work proceeds to doctrinal teaching on God, humanity, Christ, salvation, the church and sacraments, and last things, concluding with an appendix that evaluates the Book of Mormon’s
