Exploring Mormon Thought: The Problems of Theism and the Love of God

Blake T. Ostler, Draper, Utah: Greg Kofford Books, 2006, 6.5x9.5" hardbound, 503 pages.

Written for both Mormons and non-Mormons interested in the relationship between Mormonism and classical theism, this book highlights various perspectives within Mormonism itself, including a detailed analysis of Joseph SmithÆs Lectures on Faith and discussion of the thoughts of Orson and Parley Pratt, B. H. Roberts, and John Widstoe. Blake T. Ostler outlines areas in which Mormon approaches to questions about free agency and GodÆs omnipotence might suggest resolutions to some of the difficult issues that have troubled theologians and philosophers for centuries.

This volume of Exploring Mormon Thought, called The Problems of Theism and the Love of God deals with the problems of Christian theism, including the problems of petitionary prayer and whether it can make sense in the context of a God who has absolute foreknowledge or who controls everything, the problem of evil, the problems of atonement, the problems of original sin and so on.

Blake T. Ostler is a practicing attorney specializing in educational law, employment law and intellectual property. He holds a J.D. from the University of Utah. He has published widely on Mormon philosophy in journals such as Religious Studies, International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion, Dialogue: Journal of Mormon Thought, BYU Studies and FARMS Review of Books. In 2001, the first volume of this series called, Exploring Mormon Thought: The Attributes of God was published.
