|title=Orders of Submission: Review of essays on Mormonism. Southern Baptist Journal of Theology 9/2 (Summer 2005): 1–81.
|author=Louis Midgley
|publication=The FARMS Review
|vol=18
|num=2
|date=2006
|summary=Though both ''The Mormon Puzzle'' and ''Mormonism Unmasked'' attack the Church of Jesus Christ and the faith of Latter-day Saints, the book is less irenic than the video. However, they are both well within the genre of aggressively adversarial "evangelism" that is typical of the countercult industry; they are not what one might expect from officials in a respectable, sophisticated, mainline Protestant denomination. Latter-day Saints seem to have ignored ''Mormonism Unmasked''. Critical attention was, instead, focused more on ''The Counterfeit Gospel of Mormonism'', on the widely distributed video, and on the accompanying packet of anti-Mormon literature.
<br>
In addition to the sinister mask on the cover of ''Mormonism Unmasked'' and the lurid title setting the tone, the back cover declares that this volume will "lift the veil from one of the greatest deceptions in the history of religion." Roberts claims to have demonstrated that "Mormonism is a fabricated and artificial form of Christianity. It is a new religion produced by the false prophet Joseph Smith." Other similar highly adversarial packaging sets the stage for the actual contents of this book. Readers of Mormonism Unmasked are promised, with much florid rhetoric, that within the pages of this book they will learn how to "expose and put an end to their false teachings" (back cover). However, the book does not spell out exactly how Baptists who are inflamed by what they find in ''Mormonism Unmasked'' are "to put an end" to LDS teachings.
