"Upon All Nations—Religious Pluralism" Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology (SMPT) Sixth Annual Meeting
May 21–23, 2009
Albrecht Auditorium
Claremont Graduate Univerity

While claiming exclusive authority, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also takes a strikingly inclusive view of other religious traditions as loci of revealed truth and of God’s work. For example, in 2 Nephi 29:7 God says, "I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all nations of the earth." We will explore the contours and implications of distinctively Mormon views of pluralism, as well as the particular questions for pluralism raised by the LDS church.
