Snoopy, maybe you should add a ''Mormons vs. Christianity'' poll to the 
CBW.

Book Title: Are Mormons Christians
Author: Stephen E. Robinson  

Many "complex and even contradictory" arguments have been put forth by 
those who wish to exclude Mormons (properly, "Latter-Day Saints") from 
Christianity. In this book, Stephen Robinson does a brilliant job of exposing 
why these arguments are all logically flawed in some critical way. He 
exposes many "Did You Knows" about the Bible, that may embarrass some 
"mainstream" Christians, by disproving their arguments. 

For example, that the word "trinity" is not seen in the Bible even once, 
thus both the mainstream and Mormon views on the subject, ought to fall 
well within what is commonly accepted as Christian. Also, that there is 
still to this day, no single, commonly accepted body of Christian 
scripture with which the Mormons could agree, "even if they wanted to." 
And my personal favorite, that it is silly to suggest that Mormons must 
accept post-biblical councils and creeds in order to fall under the 
definition of "Christian," seeing that the New Testament Church, indeed, 
even Jesus Christ Himself, could then not possibly qualify as a "Christian." 

A very well thought out piece of work, and a triumph of logical thinking, 
this is recommended to Mormons and non-Mormons alike. Also, you might 
want to check out Robinson's "How Wide the Divide" a book comparing 
and contrasting Evangelical Christian views, with Mormon views, written 
jointly with Evangelical scholar Craig Blomberg.
