The Narrow Mind on Mormonism
Pastor Gene Cook's internet podcast "The Narrow Mind" devoted last Friday's show to the topic "Mormonism and the Gospel" with Latter-Day Saint guest Alma Allred. Honestly, I was mixed about the interview as a whole. On the one hand, Cook and his friend David Fairchild held an open and genuine dialogue with Mormon Allred. On the other hand, I'm not sure how useful this interview would be in introducing Mormonism to an evangelical audience. Certain key terms were not defined. Necessary contrasts were not made. The best part of the interview was when the show opened up to take calls.

Nevertheless, I still commend the audio file to those seeking to hear how a knowledgeable Mormon interacts with historic Christian beliefs. Check it out and let me know what you think!

As a fellow former mormon I was a bit disappointed as well. It was a well done segment, but like you said I doubt it really laid out for the average evangelical what mormonism is all about and didn't really pin down Allred about mormon beliefs. As we both know, mormonism is a tough nut to crack!
