Mediation and Atonement

“Are “Mormons” Christians? This book lays the question quietly in a grave. Published in 1882, “Medation and Atonement” is the first strictly LDS Christological work. Written by by John Taylor, the thrid president of the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the book is a bay-window into 19th Century LDS Christology, and an essential book for understanding the LDS concept of Christ and the Atonement. The main source for M&A is The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, and the Bible, and is an extension of the doctrines and ideas that the Prophet Joseph Smith taught. This book forshadowed the later Christological works of ELders James E. Talmage and Bruce R. McConkie.”
