Except that's not an authoritative book at all and actually has some problems with it.
Furthermore, it's written for an audience whom is familiar with (real) LDS beliefs and terminology already. Not somebody coming in from the outside whom lacks that understand.
Okay, let's look at what he says about Adam:
"Our knowledge about
Adam, and the exalted station held
by him in the eternal providences of
the Almighty, begins with an understanding
of his pre-existent work and
mission. By his diligence and obedience
there, as one of the spirit sons
of God, he attained a stature and
power second only to that of Christ,
the Firstborn. None of all the billions
of our Father's children equalled him
in intelligence and might, save Jesus
only. He sat in the council of the
gods in the planning of the creation
of this earth, and then, under Christ,
participated in the creative enterprise.
(Abra. 3:22-26.) He was foreordained
to come to earth as the lather
of the human race, and when Lucifer
and one-third of the hosts of heaven
rebelled, Adam ( with the exalted title
of Michael the Archangel) led the
hosts of the righteous in the war in
heaven. (Rev. 12:7-9.)"
None of this is consistent with the Bible description of Adam. So, is the author not doctrinally correct in accordance with the LDS?
