Posted on September 3, 2012 by Timothy Berman • 1 Comment

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints proclaims that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is restored in these latter-days.

While I try to be fair, I often find it very easy to be critical of the works cranked out by Utah Lighthouse Ministries. I say this because, while Sandra and the late Jerald Tanner are reasonably good at citing their sources, not all of their sources are necessarily of high quality, and in quoting … Continue reading »
