About This Book

A series of theological lectures presents a systematic exposition of core doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, beginning with the origin and prophetic claims of the restoration and proceeding through articles on the nature of God and the Godhead, human agency and the Fall, the Atonement and degrees of salvation, faith, repentance, and the ordinances of baptism (with discussion of immersion and vicarious baptism for the dead), the Holy Ghost and sacrament, priesthood authority and church organization, and the temple. Each lecture combines scriptural argument, doctrinal definitions, and practical implications for belief and practice.
