On 25 March 2007, a ninety-minute video entitled Search for the Truth was distributed to thousands of homes across the United States. The video has excellent production values but, unfortunately, its contents are not of a similar quality. Though it purports to be an objective, Christian evaluation of the teachings, history, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it contains very little that is original or balanced. Rather than focus on what they believe, the video's producers have taken it upon themselves to describe and interpret LDS beliefs and teachings, often in such a way that they are not recognizable to Mormons. The video contains many of the same anti-Mormon claims that misguided religionists have been repeating for years. The issues it raises have been repeatedly addressed by faithful Latter-day Saints, but the video makes no effort to address those responses. This page provides information that will help you compare the video's claims with the actual history, teachings, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. |
