QR code
"Defense of the Faith and the Saints (Volume 1 of 2)" by B. H. Roberts is a theological and historical discourse written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a defense of the beliefs and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, addressing misconceptions about Mormonism, its origins, and its doctrines. It appears to be aimed at both a scholarly audience and the general public, reflecting on
the significance and development of the Mormon faith within the broader context of American religious movements. The opening of the work presents the background of Mormonism at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, 1893. B. H. Roberts emphasizes the church's development from a small group to a formidable religious movement, highlighting its struggles against persecution and societal disdain. The text argues for the importance of acknowledging Mormonism's unique contributions to American religious life, asserting that it embodies a modern revelation that builds upon traditional Christian beliefs. Roberts contests the notion that God has ceased speaking to humanity and presents Mormonism as a vital faith that deserves equal recognition alongside other world religions.
