Inhaltsangabe

If Truth Were a Child discusses and exemplifies honest, critical, charity-laden truth seeking. George B. Handley's thirteen essays on humanities and belief show how education in the Humanities can enrich our pursuit of truth and increase our faith in thegospel of Jesus Christ. The Doctrine and Covenants warns against the false "traditions of the fathers" (D&C 93:39), while other scripture enjoins us to "lay hold of every good thing" (Moroni 7:19). Placing these scriptures in conversation, Handley suggests that the Restoration doesn't involve a wholesale rejection and replacement of the wider "world," but rather an invitation to increase our understanding of the relevance and expanse of the gospel by exploring the world through the eyes of faith. He emphasizes both the centrality of keeping covenants and the importance of acknowledging the persistent partiality of what we think we know.
