Some critics claim that an LDS testimony is nothing more than relying on "feelings" -- feelings, they argue, which are not trustworthy. Johnson tackles this accusation. Ensign ArticlesThese articles cited below provide information on the topic of this page. The Ensign is one of the official publications of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When you click on one of the article links below, you are whisked to the article found in the archives of the Church's Web site. Gene R. Cook, "Moroni's Promise," Ensign, April 1994, 12. Moroni 10:3-5 takes on far greater depth when we follow its admonitions to study, ponder, and exercise faith. Daniel H. Ludlow, "A friend of mine says he has prayed about the Book of Mormon but has not received a testimony of its truthfulness. Shouldn't Moroni's promise always work?," Ensign, March 1986. Jenae P. Miller, "To Some It Is Given," Ensign, January 1992, 30. I had prayed many times for the Lord to tell me the Book of Mormon was true. Why wasn't I getting the revelation I sought?

Peterson and William J. Hamblin, "Is Spirituality All in Your Head?," (City Unknown: MeridianMagazine.com) A new area of religious study known as neurotheology attempts to map brain activity at the time of spiritual experiences.
