This book critically examines the doctrines and claims of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Community of Christ. In particular, Penrose focuses on the church's belief in a literal priesthood and presidency, comparing these claims with the teachings of the Bible and other theological sources. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Latter-day Saint movement.
