Brittney Lowe Hartley has just published a
long-awaited book, Mormon Philosophy Simplified: An Easy
LDS Approach to Classic Philosophical Questions. In this
episode, she joins Latter-day Faith host Dan
Wotherspoon to discuss the book, its contents, and to dive
into several of Mormonism's interesting, and, to many, expansive
and ennobling angles on questions such as the nature of existence
itself, the problem of evil, Atonement, Sin, Grace, Free Will,
Gender, Ethics, and more. In addition, Brittney shares a terrific
exegesis on the often-troubling story of Nephi slaying Laban, and
they hint at a beautiful telling of the story of the Good Samaritan
that is contained in the book's epilogue. All throughout they wax
enthusiastically about the importance of philosophy and theology
and how these disciplines can help all of us on our spiritual
journeys, aiding in clarifying our intellectual and spiritual
foundations and core values.
