Rational Theology, as Taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

A distinguished LDS apostle makes the case that Mormon theology is not mere dogma but a coherent system of truth derived from the unchanging laws governing the universe. John A. Widtsoe argues that genuine religion must harmonize with human reason, that divine ordinances derive their authority from eternal principles discoverable by mind and conscience, and that faith and science ultimately point toward the same cosmic order. Rather than treating doctrine as arbitrary revelation, Widtsoe presents Latter-day Saint theology as a rational framework for understanding existence, God's nature, and humanity's relationship to the divine. Written with scholarly rigor yet accessible to educated readers, this volume stands as a careful articulation of how LDS doctrine claims to align with the fundamental logic woven into creation itself.
