A New Witness for God (Volume 1 of 3)

About this book

Creators: B. H. Roberts (1857-1933) “A New Witness for God (Volume 1 of 3)” by B. H. Roberts is a theological work written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the origins and claims of Mormonism, positioning it as a restored version of ancient Christianity rather than a new religion. The author aims to assert that Joseph Smith serves as a modern prophet who provides new revelations necessary for the time, countering what he describes as a complete apostasy from the original Christian teachings. At the start of the book, the author provides a preface outlining the historical background of the Latter-day Saints and the misconceptions that surround them. He emphasizes the need for a new witness for God, arguing that traditional Christian sources are no longer sufficient in addressing the doubts and skepticism present in modern society. The opening portion sets the stage for the ensuing theses, which will explore the necessity for a new dispensation of the Gospel, the claim of apostasy from the primitive Christian church, and the divine authority of Joseph Smith as a prophet, establishing foundational beliefs for those interested in the tenets of Mormonism.
