Book Details

Authors: Mark S. Diamond, Shon D. Hopkin, with Michael D. Stanley for the John A. Widtsoe Foundation This is the second book in the series developed and sponsored by The Widtsoe Foundation to help Latter-day Saints understand the religious traditions of their neighbors, their community, and the religious world. In the spirit of mutual discipleship to that God whom we honor and share together as 'people of the Book' from the time and lineage of Father Abraham, Rabbi Mark S. Diamond and Latter-day Saint scholar Shon D. Hopkin bring you Understanding Our Jewish Neighbors, a comprehensive guide to understanding the similarities and differences between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and leading Jewish traditions. This will give readers a succinct understanding, reverence, and appreciation for both faiths, their traditions, and their members. "What we have in common is of far greater significance than that which divides us. The effort to throw off traditions of distrust and pettiness and truly see one another with new eyes—to see each other not as aliens or adversaries but as fellow travelers, brothers and sisters, and children of God—is one of the most challenging while at the same time most rewarding and ennobling experiences of our human existence." (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, April 24, 2015, at the John A. Widtsoe Symposium at the University of Southern California)
