that has nothing to do with Mormonism I agree. The author is trying to make an issue of it. I think he's overreaching. Mormonism is nutty and not Christian, but the OT/NT terminology predates mormonism and has nothing to do with it. The author should (IMO) remove that bit. It's nonsense.

In the portions excerpted, the author identifies himself as a Catholic convert, the son of a Baptist minister. FWIW, I took his "Old Testament" comment as saying that the Mormons themselves consider the whole of the Holy Bible (Old and New Testaments) as an "Old" Testament. The Book of Mormon bills itself as "Another Testament of Jesus Christ".
