Summary
Inspired by the groundbreaking publication of How Wide the Divide? A Mormon and an Evangelical in Conversation (InterVarsity, 1997), Robert L. Millet, a life long Mormon, former Dean of Religious Education, and currently a professor of religious education at Brigham Young University and Gregory C.V. Johnson, an ordained Baptist pastor from Utah and a former Mormon, meet and begin their own conversation. Eventually they take their dialogues public, appearing in various LDS, Evangelical, and academic venues. The first part of this book is a dialogue between the two authors themselves. The second part is a Q & A with Mormon and Evangelical audiences. Throughout this work the authors provide guiding principles of constructive conversation and promote the concept of "convicted civility." "If you have any doubts that you know everything there is to know about either Evangelical or Latter-day Saint religion and have even the slightest desire to learn more, this book is for you."
