A Handbook on Mormonism By Jason Burns

Jason Burns’ A Handbook on Mormonism provides a clear and accessible overview of the beliefs, history, and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Designed as an informative guide, the book aims to demystify Mormon doctrines and offer readers a balanced understanding of this religious movement.

Burns approaches the subject with fairness and scholarly rigor, presenting key aspects such as the origins of Mormonism, core theological differences with mainstream Christianity, and the cultural context that shapes Mormon life today. His writing is straightforward, making complex topics like the Book of Mormon, temple rituals, and prophetic authority understandable for those unfamiliar with the faith.

One of the strengths of this handbook is its respectful tone. Burns avoids sensationalism and instead focuses on factual information, which makes it a valuable resource for students, educators, or anyone seeking to better understand Mormon beliefs from an objective perspective. The book also touches on common misconceptions and clarifies what distinguishes Mormonism from other Christian denominations.
