Groundbreaking book examines key philosophical and theological differences between the two religions

SAN FRANCISCO — Catholics may be missing out on fruitful interfaith dialogue by failing to engage with Latter-Day Saints, argues Francis Beckwith and Richard Sherlock in the new book, A CATHOLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH LATTER-DAY SAINTS (Ignatius Press)

Beckwith, Ph.D., is a professor of philosophy and church-state studies at Baylor University. Among his many books are The New Mormon Challenge and Taking Rites Seriously: Law, Politics, and the Reasonableness of Faith, winner of the American Academy of Religion’s 2016 Book Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in the category of Constructive-Reflective Studies. Sherlock, Ph.D., a former Mormon who became Catholic in 2012, was a professor of philosophy for 47 years at Utah State University. | More
