There are currently, so far as I can tell, five distinctive models in LDS thought for our pre-existent state. 1.- [...]]]></description>

Trying to convince an atheist that there really is a God but he simply chooses to [...]]]></description>

Being a long time reader of Givens’ frankly excellent books on Mormonism, and being aware of his forthcoming volumes on theology, I was very excited to read these.
