Joseph Smith’s Christology: After Two Hundred Years

During the last decade, a recurring question has been posed to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Is the church "changing?" In addition, it is asked,Is there some effort on the part of the church leadership to have the church and its teachings, particularly those concerning Jesus Christ, become more acceptable to and thus more accepted by other Christians? The natural Latter-day Saint inclination is to react sharply that the church's doctrines concerning Jesus Christ are intact and even eternal, that doctrines of Joseph Smith's day and the doctrines of our own day are one and the same, that little of consequence has been altered.
