	Encyclopedia of Mormonism - Definition, explanation
		The Encyclopedia of Mormonism is a well-known semi-official encyclopedia for topics relevant to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church; see also "Mormon").
		The title for the Encyclopedia of Mormonism was chosen by Macmillan, the secular publisher which initiated the project.
		However, the Encyclopedia was designed to serve as a general reference, not as a primer of LDS polemics.

		Nevertheless, the Mormon church sees only itself as fully authorized and recognized by God—“the only true and living church upon the earth.” This exclusive claim to truth and authority explains the determination of Mormons to carry their message worldwide, even to Christians of other denominations.
		The Mormons are lukewarm, if not hostile, to ecumenism, basically opposed to abortion and birth control, and unreceptive to such “unbiblical” practices as women in the priesthood; like many Protestant fundamentalists, they see themselves as resisting the forces of secularism and liberal compromise.
		Although Mormon women have numerous opportunities to serve on the congregational level and are encouraged to develop their talents and pursue higher education, they are not ordained to the priesthood and do not serve in the hierarchy.

	Encyclopedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the term encyclopedia was not used to refer to such works until the 16th century, and the first general encyclopedias which succeeded in being both authoritative as well as encyclopedic in scope appeared in the 18th century.
		Encyclopedias are essentially derivative from what has gone before, and particularly in the 19th century, piracy was common among encyclopedia editors.
		The encyclopedia's hierarchical structure and evolving nature is particularly adaptable to a disk-based or on-line computer format, and all major printed encyclopedias had moved to this method of delivery by the end of the 20th century.

	Pinning Down Mormon Doctrine \| Mormonism Research Ministry
		Although some Mormons give their leaders wide latitude when it comes to spiritual direction, others insist that only the standard works 1 need to be accepted as truth.
		Christians who ask Mormons to own up to what their leaders have said are often rebuffed with a comment made by Joseph Smith in 1843.
		Nevertheless, a Mormon who takes an honest look at the teachings of his or her leaders, both past and present, will quickly see how LDS prophets are, in fact, quite capable of leading members "astray." A classic example of this is found in the teachings of Brigham Young.

	Mormonism
		Mormonism, major world religion of close to ten million members, [was] founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith, known as the prophet.
		Millions of Mormons are on their way to eternal torments, because they follow not the Christ of Scripture, but the false religion of Mormonism (John 10:5; Revelation 21:8).

	Questioning Mormonism: LDS Scriptures
		Given this view of the Bible, it is not surprising that whenever Mormonism and Christianity disagree, Latter-day Saints believe it is because the truth (as found in Mormonism) has disappeared from the Bible and, consequently, from present-day Christianity.
		These are found in Doctrine and Covenants: a declaration to discontinue the practice of polygamy (1890); a vision of Christ's ministry among the spirits of the dead (1918); and a declaration to end the Church's withholding of spiritual blessings to people of African descent (1978).
		As with the Book of Mormon, many of the revelations contained in the Doctrine and Covenants have undergone serious revision since their initial printing in the Book of Commandments in 1833.
