The
mission of studychristianity.com is to provide visitors the
basic Christian doctrinal components of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) as found in the Bible and reinforced in
The Biblical Roots of Mormonism
written by Eric Shuster and Charles Sale (Cedar Fort, 2010). The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is among the community of
global Christian denominations according to the World Christian
Encyclopedia (Barrett, 2001) and the fourth largest in North America
according to the National Council of Churches (Yearbook, 2012). The
vision of studychristianity.com is to encourage greater
dialogue among Christians of all denominations to share their faith,
explore beliefs and find common ground on which to build lasting
relationships of positive community influence, trust, friendship and
moral character.

The
Foundation for Christian Studies (FCS) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the study, teaching, and practice of Christianity with an
emphasis on the doctrines and principles of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). The mission of the FCS is to inspire
all people, regardless of individual religious persuasion, to come
together in support of essential Christian values while respecting the
theological differences that can otherwise divide Christianity’s
adherents. The FCS is not in any way affiliated with the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and operates under the Directorship
of author Eric Shuster.
Jesus Christ told those who believed in him that if they continued in
his word they would be his disciples, know the truth, and be set free
from the spiritual bondage of Satan (John 8:32). The Savior said that
if a man comes unto him and hears and does what He says, then his life
is like a house on a foundation of rock that will not be washed away
by the buffetings of the world (Luke 6:47-48). Although Christians
among the over 33,000 Christian denominations around the world are
unlikely to agree on all points of doctrine, the FCS encourages the
study of Christian theology to identify commonality that can be built
upon to strengthen individuals, families, churches and communities in
Jesus Christ.
