About This Book

A collection of apologetic and doctrinal essays presenting defenses of Latter-day Saint theology, responses to contemporary critics, discussions of church–state relations and religious liberty, analysis of Book of Mormon translation questions, and historical and doctrinal studies such as the Sabbath, revelation, and Anglican orders. Many pieces are public addresses or published debates that interweave polemic rebuttals, expository explanation of beliefs, and historical reflection intended to situate the faith within American religious life and to answer controversies arising in the press, among scholars, and before political bodies.
