Mormons and the Modern-day Pharisees D. Keith Shurtleff

This book provides a concise defense of the doctrines of Mormonism against the Modern0day Pharisees. One of the characteristics of the true church of Jesus Christ is that it will always face persecution and attack. This book outlines the similarities between the Pharisees of old who sought to persecute Jesus and his kingdom, and their modern day counterparts who carry on the same work today. This book is based on real life experiences of the author occurring over his lifetime including his many years of service as a chaplain within the U. S. Army. Those years of service placed him in close contact with the preachers and doctrines of Orthodox Christianity, and occasionally exposed him to the intricacies of the age-old tactics used by the modern day Pharisees in attacking Mormonism. This book provides valuable insights into how the modern disciple of Jesus can counter the influence and arguments of the Modern-day Pharisees by revealing their motivations, techniques, and weaknesses. It is also written for those enemies of truth, in hopes that if they read this book, they will awake to see themselves in the unhappy position of fighting against the living Christ and will, like Saul of Tarsus, turn from their course and embrace what they once sought to destroy.
