About This Book

The author presents a combined historical narrative and philosophical exposition of the Latter-day Saint movement, tracing its visible origins, early visionary claims of its founder, the community's institutional development, episodes of persecution, migration, and settlement, and the establishment of a distinct territorial and civic presence. Accompanying this story is a systematic treatment of the movement's theological principles, including the nature of revelation, concepts of deity and human destiny, and the intellectual framework that supports its doctrines, offered in the form of reconstructed lectures adapted for a general audience.
