Believing, as the Prophet Joseph Smith taught, that extant religious creeds had become corrupt, B.H. Roberts wrote this book desiring to instruct his readers in the true principles of the gospel. His thesis followed a fourfold pattern of investigation: a vivid description of the ministry of the Messiah and the Apostles; an examination of the universal apostasy from the teachings of Jesus Christ; an account of the reformation period; and the final restoration of truth and divine authority through revelation from God to the Prophet Joseph. 428 pages
