A Reason for Faith

When gospel questions arise, the antidote for uncertainty is more knowledge and more contemplation. Before the Internet, historical and doctrinal answers not addressed in Church curriculum were mostly found in the material of scholarly articles in academic journals. This is no longer the case. These topics are now being widely debated and discussed on multiple websites and in various forums. And when this information is unfamiliar, it has the potential to incite feelings of surprise, fear, betrayal, and sometimes anger.

Often, members who are caught off guard and find themselves awash in new information lose their footing and their faith. The information in these essays can begin an exciting process of discovery for listeners. As scholars provide perspective and context to both the Church's history and present policies, they also share valuable tools for lifelong learning and study. This book was written to provide reasons for faith by offering faithful answers to sincere questions.
