A Rational Theology, as Taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

This work offers a clear, concise presentation of the core teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints, framing them as principles that align with human reason and the universal laws that govern the world. By treating doctrine as an exposition rather than a debate, it invites listeners to see how the gospel’s tenets can coexist with everyday experience and contemporary understanding. The author draws on the insights of early church leaders, presenting familiar beliefs in a way that feels both accessible and intellectually satisfying.

The opening chapters turn attention to the way we acquire knowledge, beginning with the five ordinary senses and extending to the “sixth sense” that hints at the vast unknown beyond direct perception. Through examples of scientific tools that expand our senses, the book illustrates how even indirect observations can support a rational foundation for faith. Listeners are encouraged to sharpen their perception and consider how a reasoned approach can deepen their spiritual outlook.
