CES Letter: A Closer Look

Introduction:

The Letter to a CES Director expresses multiple concerns about the the truthfulness of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If the Church is true, its history and teachings can withstand scrutiny. The CES Letter contains a handy compilation of the latest critiques of the Church. In the pages below, these concerns are addressed one-by-one so that readers can decide whether the issues have been accurately represented and constitute valid evidence against the Church or whether they are heavily biased with multiple half-truths and misrepresentations. Some problems in the letter grow out of information lost to history or perceived weaknesses in early Church leaders. As such, complete explanations may not be available. However, no evidences or observations demonstrate undeniably that the Church is false and any that might appear to be so are not fully represented.
