Mormon Doctrine of Deity: The Roberts-Van Der Donckt Discussion*

5b 1903 Roberts-Van Der Donckt, first edition

Notes

Mormon Doctrine of Deity: The Roberts-Van Der Donckt Discussion is a book that explores a formal theological debate between B.H. Roberts, a prominent leader and theologian in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), and Reverend Van Der Donckt, a Catholic priest. The discussion took place in 1902 and revolves around key differences between Mormonism and traditional Christian views regarding the nature of God. Roberts defends the LDS doctrine, which includes the belief in a corporeal God and a plurality of gods, while Van Der Donckt argues for the Catholic concept of a Trinity and the immaterial nature of God. The work is an important text for understanding the nuances of LDS theology in contrast with mainstream Christian thought.
