Puss in Corner Nine-Patch



Stephen Webb, religion professor at Wabash College, used to mock the LDS church before he read the Book of Mormon. “I came to my senses about how wrong it is to be rude toward somebody else’s faith,” he writes. “I came to realize just how deeply Christ-centered Mormonism is. What gives Christianity its identity is commitment to the divinity of Christ. On that ground Mormons are more Christian than many mainstream Christians who do not take seriously the claim that Jesus is the Son of God.” Webb sums up the Book of Mormon by quoting Second Nephi 25:26. “We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.” Webb’s conclusion: “Mormonism is obsessed with Christ. Everything it teaches is meant to awaken, encourage, and expand faith in Him.”
