truth claim essays
Mormonism is built upon a number of astonishing truth claims and related faith-inspiring stories. The historical validity of many remains debatable and merits scrutiny. In 2013, the LDS Church began releasing Gospel Topics Essays to address questions about its doctrine and history. More recently, the church published Saints: The Standard of Truth as part of a four-volume history. While these efforts to improve transparency have been praised, many feel that the Church’s narrative remains incomplete or overly apologetic.
Mormon Stories Podcast has collaborated with various editors to release a series of short essays exploring the church's truth claims, in context with actual historical events of the time. Our goal is to write the accurate, robust and concise narratives the Church has not provided.
