A Latter-day Saint Examination of Christadelphian Theology

In late-2011, I started a study of the Christadelphians, a small "Biblical Unitarian" group founded by Dr. John Thomas (1805-1871) in the mid-19th century. Since that time, I have amassed over 100 volumes by Christadelphians on various topics, including their rejection of the ontological ("real") existence of Satan & Demons, their Socinian Christology (one that teaches Jesus did not personally pre-exist his conception), and other topics, including the status of the dead. This short book touches upon some of the core doctrines that separate Latter-day Saints from Christadelphians. It has two audiences in view. The first is that of fellow Latter-day Saints who wish to appreciate what our faith teaches about the personal pre-existence of Jesus, the reality of supernatural evil, and the status of the dead (i.e., they are conscious after death). The second is that of Christadelphians--it is my hope that Christadelphians who read this book will understand I have gone out of my way to understand the arguments and underlying assumptions behind their stance on various doctrines, and will see the (overwhelming) biblical problems with such, causing them to seriously reconsider their theology, as, sadly, it is "another [read: a false] gospel," one under the anathema of Gal 1:6-9.
