Irvingism And Mormonism Tested By Scripture

By Emilius Guers

Book Overview

Irvingism and Mormonism Tested by Scripture is a book written by Emilius Guers that examines the teachings of two religious movements, the Irvingites and the Mormons, in light of biblical scripture. The Irvingites were followers of Edward Irving, a Scottish Presbyterian minister who believed in the restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, while the Mormons were followers of Joseph Smith, who claimed to have received divine revelation and founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Guers evaluates the beliefs of these two groups by comparing them to the teachings of the Bible, analyzing their doctrines on topics such as the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the authority of scripture. He also examines their views on the end times, the afterlife, and the church. Through his analysis, Guers argues that both the Irvingites and the Mormons deviate from orthodox Christian doctrine and that their teachings cannot be supported by the Bible. He concludes that while these movements may have some elements of truth, they ultimately fall short of the biblical standard of truth and should be rejected by Christians. Overall, Irvingism and Mormonism Tested by Scripture is a scholarly and thorough examination of two religious movements that have had a significant impact on the history of Christianity. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding these movements and their relationship to the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
