The BYU Mormon Code has been violated

Breaking the Mormon Code: A Critique of Mormon Scholarship Regarding Classical Christian Theology and the Book of Mormon by Matt Paulson, 2006 WingSpan Press

"As a Christian Apologist, Mr. Paulson has done an outstanding job in laying bare the deceptive roots found in Mormon attacks upon historic Christianity. With God's truth as his standard, Mr. Paulson sets straight the lie that Mormonism is changing into biblical Christianity. It isn't--and that is why this book is so vitally important in the battle for truth.”
Rev. Kurt Van Gorden
Author, Mormonism (Zondervan, 1995)

"A satisfying introduction to the wiles of internal Mormon apologetics. Mr. Paulson has delivered a body blow that will render Mormon defenders breathless."
James Patrick Holding, Author, Mormon Defenders, (Proaster Books, 2001)

"Paulson's book performs two very valuable services in the academic arena. First of all, he demonstrates conclusively that many LDS scholars have been less than professional in the way that they have selectively quoted--and sometimes, misquoted--early Christian Fathers and heretic writers of the last 2000 years, with the aim of making it seem that Mormonism restores the original, doctrinally pure Gospel of the first century AD. Paulson's second contributions are his helpful charts and lists. Especially useful is the comparison of classic Christian creeds with the LDS Articles of Faith--which is, as Paulson shows, indeed itself a creed."
Latayne C. Scott, Author, The Mormon Mirage, (Zondervan, 1988) Why We Left a Cult (Baker, 1993), and After Mormonism, What?, (Baker, 1994)
