Mormon Stories Book Series

I think Dehlin is a very sincere man, but I can't determine if he's a good thing or bad thing for Mormonism as a whole. I suppose it's good that he helps others to see value in the LDS Church even if the person no longer believes all its claims, but he's essentially in favor of a non-Mormon theology.

I'm not sure it is fair to say he favors a non-Mormon theology for anyone, not even himself. I think John would say that Mormon theology is a concept that has many, many permutations, just one of which is what we would all think of a "traditional" but that even within that there can be significant difference of belief. But I know he considers himself Mormon and that the practice of his faith is completely traditional. What do you mean by "non-Mormon theology?"

Mormonism is a religion, not a theology.
