Has anyone reviewed this book?

Quote:

From the time Joseph Smith walked out of the grove of trees having experienced a vision and having spoken with God and Jesus Christ, his words have opened the door to persecution. As disciples of Christ, we ought to be serious students of the gospel who are able to provide a defense of our faith. In this book, LDS scholars discuss criticisms of the Church on a variety of issues, including the question of whether Mormons are Christian, the various accounts of Joseph Smith’s First Vision, and LDS beliefs about becoming like God, continuing revelation, and plural marriage. The book also includes chapters about DNA research and the Book of Mormon, along with the role of evidence and the need for honesty in religious discussion. This volume does not address every point of opposition, but it does provide thoughtful and reliable answers to several hard questions.

Contributors include:

Robert L. Millet
Richard Neitzel Holzapfel
John W. Welch
Camille Fronk Olson
Brent L. Top
Daniel K Judd
Steven C. Harper

(I love how the summary begins with a presumption of persecution on the issues, as if every issue is just a matter of them being persecuted, not a search for fact...)
