I was intrigued by the Givens quote in which he refers to the Restoration as not being complete yet. That's my feeling as well, so I was pleased to learn from your post that Givens has the same view.

I don't believe that Mormonism has a monopoly on the truth. I recently blogged about how the Tao Te Ching might have connections with LDS teachings and practices on <a href="http://www.templestudy.com/2008/02/22/taoist-philosophy-in-the-lds-temple/" rel="nofollow">Temple Study</a>.

She was unmarried at the time, so I'm glad you did. :) Andrew,

That’s around the time she would have taken it. She was unmarried at the time, so I’m glad you did. :)

Incidentally, this in one of the aspects of Mormonism that really ties me down to the church--accepting truth from whatever the source. I think there's a lot of truth and just plain great teaching and wisdom to be found in other religions/philosophies. I love your ideas in this post.

Hinckley's quote as well! You're right on. John, the "Gospel and World Religions" book is an excellent one. I think that book is a must-own for every Latter-day Saint. I had Doctor Choi for that class at BYU. He's a great man and teacher, and after three hours of lecture in a single night, I would continue thinking in a Korean accent for a couple days afterwards. :) Bruce, have you gotten to the part of the Gita yet that is depicted by the illustration I included at the top of this post? You'll have to let me know your thoughts about it when you've finished. Neal, yes, I should have used Pres. Hinckley’s quote as well! You’re right on.

I am reading the Gita right now. (Well, listening to it, anyhow.) I find it very interesting. Andrew, it’s interesting that I’ve had a similar thought as this for a while.

I'm looking forward to your next post, which will hopefully be a primer on inserting Eastern wisdom into Western talks and lessons. For those who prefer a literal fulfillment of prophecy, and in answer to your first question, two BYU professors, Spencer Palmer and Roger Keller, wrote a book called "The Gospel and World Religions" which includes selections from all the major, and some of the minor world religions, thus gathering these words in one. They comment on these traditions from an LDS perspective as well. I took Keller's class at BYU and loved it. You've just inspired a post in me for April, Andrew! (Based on my experiences with Professor Keller). Andrew,

The Dao De Jing is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read, yet so many I've spoken with view my fascination with all things Daoist or Zen as, well, a bit weird for a Mormon. But certainly there is much truth to be accepted, as Pres. Hinckley encouraged. Andrew, I totally concur.
