Autores ResumoA Journal of Mormon Thought contemporary Latter-day Saints may prefer Ostler's very creative interpretation of the relation of God and humanity.There is a significant absence in this book that should not have been left for the later volumes, even though the major purpose is to engage non-Mormon analytic philosophers of religion.There is no mention of the Mother in heaven.While it is true this is a mystery insufficiently revealed, Ostler has speculated boldly in the best philosophical sense of the term.Why not say something?This could be done in rela-tion to the Old Testament feminine holy wisdom that is also found in Mosiah, to the 1909 First Presidency statement on the "Origin of Man," or, most famously, to Eliza R. Snow's poem and hymn.There is enough material in the canon that this important doctrine should be included in a book on the attributes of God.
