On 25 March 2007, a ninety-minute DVD 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 focusing on what they believe, the program's producers have taken it upon themselves to describe and interpret LDS beliefs and teachings. Their biases hinder any "search for truth." The video contains the same tired anti-Mormon propaganda that misguided religionists have been repeating for years. All the issues it raises have been repeatedly addressed by faithful Latter-day Saints, but the video makes no effort to address the responses to their charges. 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. |
