About This Book

A sequence of essay-letters responding to a clergyman's questions lays out fundamental Latter-day Saint beliefs, explaining immediate revelation and the continuing gift of the Holy Spirit, faith and water baptism, reception of the Holy Ghost, priesthood authority, and the church's claim of apostasy and subsequent restoration. It treats the nature of God, the gathering of believers, final judgments, and the restitution of all things, combining doctrinal exposition with scriptural argument and practical exhortation. The author concludes with a summary appeal and personal remarks, and the volume includes supplementary memorials and reflections linked to the author's life.
