No atonement theology in the Gospel of Luke
Re: No atonement theology in the Gospel of Luke
Well, if you are looking into how Smith might have accessed ideas from the Early Church Fathers, go read Stephen Fleming’s dissertation. Smith could access some of those ideas in a few key reference works, some of which he owned or could have accessed locally.

I am sure that there are many sources on which Smith might have drawn, had he considered that doing so would be helpful in his projects (whatever those projects may be thought to have been at any given moment).Kishkumen wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 10:51 amWell, if you are looking into how Smith might have accessed ideas from the Early Church Fathers, go read Stephen Fleming’s dissertation.

I can't stand that Ripley bastard. Always putting on airs. If he held his nose any higher he'd have to file a plan with the FAA.Morley wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 1:31 pmYeah, me too.

Re: No atonement theology in the Gospel of Luke
for what it's worth: here is a dissertation that addresses the sort of thing I had in mind re sifting early sources while wearing one's 'apologist' hat:

From the Abstract:
https://epublications.marquette.edu/dis ... AI3210979/
From the Abstract:
As Smith's movement grew, other arguments developed that could be used to assert divine validity. One of these arguments was the use of extra-biblical patristic literature. Mormons have sought patristic differences and similarities to their current beliefs. They argue that similarities show a pure strain of Christianity (proto-Mormonism) which disappeared as mainstream patristic Catholicism (reflected through patristic differences to Mormon belief) pushed it into marginalization and eventual extinction.
