Foreword and afterword by Richard J. Mouw Are Latter-day Saints Christian, or do they worship a different Jesus? In this engaging book based on the foundational Mormon documents, Robert Millet clearly explains why Latter-day Saints claim to be Christians and compares their understanding of Jesus with the views of traditional Christian believers. A leading Mormon scholar who has spent much of his career in conversation with traditional Christians and their writings, Millet discusses what constitutes Christianity and examines how the Latter-day Saints fit or do not fit within that rubric. Intended to inform rather than to convince or persuade, A Different Jesus? clears away misconceptions and doctrinal distortions that characterize more polemical works about Mormonism. Millet points out the many beliefs that Latter-day Saints hold in common with traditional Christians, yet he also emphasizes differences where they exist. A Different Jesus? initiates and will foster a significant dialogue between Latter-day Saints and traditional Christians. Of special value are a lengthy chapter that answers some of the most frequently asked questions about Mormonism, a glossary showing how key theological terms are defined by Latter-day Saints, and evangelical scholar Richard Mouw's foreword and afterword, which help set an agenda for future discussions between these rich religious traditions.

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? How do we recognize the call to discipleship, understand its costs, and realize its rewards? Well-known author and professor of religion Robert L. Millet answers these questions as he reflects on the quest for discipleship in which we as members of the Church are engaged. He offers suggestions such as developing humility, taking up our own cross, remembering the poor and the needy, and learning to love as the Savior loves. "To be a disciple is to seek to be changed," he says, "to open ourselves to the transforming powers of Jesus Christ. . . to begin to see and feel things as the Master does. The disciple seeks to become like Him." An Eye Single to the Glory of God offers insight and inspiration for all who want to become more dedicated followers of the Savior.
