In this exciting book, O. Kendall White, Jr., contrasts Mormon neo-orthodoxy, an emerging theological movement within the Mormon church today, with traditional Mormonism and examines the cultural context out of which Mormon neo-orthodoxy developed. While White argues that traditional Mormonism is characterized by doctrines of a finite God, the fundamental goodness of human nature, and exaltation by merit, he finds that Mormon neo-orthodoxy boldly proclaims the sovereignty of God, the depravity of humanity, ans salvation by grace.
