Bruce R. McConkie (1915–1985)

For those who love all the details of religion, Mormon Doctrine is both fascinating and confusing. McConkie assiduously details every piece of Mormon Doctrine.

However, should you not have grown up in the Church's Seminary system, you will not have the foundation with which to understand most of the book.

Despite that drawback, Mormon Doctrine is well written and an addicting read for any religious scholar.

Solid research and information. I feel like the format could be updated for a more modern flow. It would make it easier to follow. Sometimes I was confused about who said what. But the version I borrowed from the library was a first edition. Maybe they've done that already?

I would give this book a much higher rating if it was actually Mormon doctrine and not Bruce R's opinions of Mormon Doctrine. Although he is correct in many instances he is also very far off the actual doctrine in others. His opinion in the end may turn out to be correct but that doesn't make it doctrine currently.
