BYU Education Week: Similarities and basic truths among religions
PROVO, Utah — Mormons don't have a monopoly on truth, and it would behoove members of the church to seek out ways it's manifest in other religions and philosophies, professor Michael Wilcox said in a Tuesday session of Education Week.
Wilcox will teach four classes this week titled "Enlightening whole nations: Discovering great truths and people from around the world." He introduced the topic by relating it to this year's conference theme, "In thy light shall we see light," from Psalms 36:9.
He said that when Mormons shine the light they gain from their faith onto other sources of knowledge, truths become more evident, and those truths can come from a variety of places.
"The light that we are invited to see might come from a lot of different areas," he said.
