Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the original christological concept propounded by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and compares it with the Christian theology. It turns out that the official Mormon teaching on Christ’s nature, origins, mission, resurrection and Parousia (thought of as inspired) is incompatible with the christology of the traditional Christian denominations. Despite J. Smith’s and his successors’ radical departure from the pronouncements of Christian denominations, the proposed text may encourage further research into the person of Jesus Christ and his role in – perhaps, not so much the official teaching of this new, para-christian religion – but in the everyday life of Mormons, especially in their prayers, liturgy and communal relationships.
