Non-Christian LDS/Mormon Content Showing as if it were Christian

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is Logos now leaning toward including non-Christian LDS/Mormon content as if it were Christian?

This book is being described as holding the equivalency of Christianity as just being 'different' from other Christian denominations. LDS/Mormonism is NOT Christian, at all. Mormons worship a fake jesus and some other God and it is more than different: it is entirely NOT Christian.

"Underwood seeks to facilitate mutual understanding among Christians who may worship differently, who conceive of God and God’s relations with humanity differently, and who articulate their religious beliefs in terms and concepts that are unfamiliar to each other."

There is no 'mutual understanding.' This looks like and sounds like Logos allowing false teachings into the church.

In my Christian research a non-Christian LDS/Mormon book claiming Christianity showed up in my search results. I do not want this proselytizing junk showing in my Christian research projects. How did this book trying to claim Christian equivalency even get approved to be in Logos? Do I need to now add filters to remove LDS/Mormon content from Logos search results to maintain the Christian context?

This book needs to be removed from Logos!

This book needs to be removed from Logos!

If you read through historical posts on the Logos forums, you will find this topic being brought up on a regular basis, The first time I recall was over the inclusion of Dracula in the offerings. IIRC it was removed which led to another outcry. Logos is not a religious entity. It tries to serve all people who have reason to study the Bible - including making the forums a comfortable place for all users. (Its forums are not the place to make your theological judgments about other positions). Further down on the product page you will see:

Key Features
Examines how the beliefs of Latter-day Saints compare with traditional Christian theology
Seeks to facilitate mutual understanding among Christians

Those goals are firmly within the range of Logos concerns, regardless of your opinion on LDS itself. Your request for the removal, if granted, would create a major brouhaha among users who, like myself, appreciates that Logos tries to serve all and leave the theological judgements on theological position in the hands of individual users as they build their libraries.

BTW Most standard references treat the Latter-day saints as Christian as does Logos.

Well, Chris, Logos customers have been suggesting Mormon books from almost day one. Mostly for knowledgeability.

And this one looks to be instrumental, for the same reason.

And how did he fool Eerdmans into publishing it?! ;)
