📱 eBook en inglés THE ARTICLES OF FAITH (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

The Articles of Faith reimagines Joseph Smiths Thirteen Articles as a compact yet systematic theology. Moving article by article, Talmage treats the Godhead, the Atonement, ordinances, spiritual gifts, revelation, scripture, Zion, and last things, grounding claims in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and modern revelations. In polished late‑Victorian prose, he defines terms precisely, argues with measured apologetic force, and situates Latter‑day Saint distinctives within broader Christian debates, yielding a durable instructional text. James E. Talmage—English‑born scientist, educator, and later apostle—brought laboratory habits to theology. He first presented this material as lectures and, with First Presidency approval, expanded it for publication in 1899 to serve missionary and priesthood instruction. His scientific training, pastoral concern, and loyalty to Joseph Smiths revelations converged to clarify doctrine for Latter‑day Saints while addressing the questions of a skeptical, modern public. Students of American religion, Latter‑day Saint readers, and ecumenical inquirers alike will profit from this lucid synthesis. Allow for nineteenth‑century diction, and you will find a transparent architecture of argument, broad scriptural engagement, and a reliable guide to Mormon self‑understanding. As a primary source for classrooms or personal study, it rewards careful, charitable reading.
