Reviews and FAIR projects
- Contradictions in LDS scripture?
Many anti-Mormon protestants use a list of supposed "contradictions" between the Book of Mormon and other LDS scripture. This table reviews and rebuts each. - Craig Blomberg's "Top Ten Things Jesus Would Say to Mormons"
Evangelical scholar Dr. Craig Blomberg has spoken of ten things he believes Jesus would tell the Mormons. This review demonstrates that Dr. Blomberg's list would be better thought of as "Ten Things Jesus Would Say If He Were An Evangelical Protestant." - Reviews of DNA Evidence for Book of Mormon Geography (Rod Meldrum)
- A series of review papers on a DVD/fireside presentation.
- Another list of questions which anti-Mormon ministries think Mormons haven't asked themselves and can't answer.
