Foundations of the Restoration

45th Annual Brigham Young University Sidney B. Sperry Symposium, Ostler/Mackay/Morgan

This collection of essays from the 45th annual Brigham Young University Sidney B. Sperry Symposium offers a strong foundation for a deeper understanding of the Restoration. The keynote address by Robert L. Millet highlights the restoration of plain and precious truths. Readers will learn about how we understand LDS history and doctrine, about the beliefs declared in the Articles of Faith and how we apply their truths, about the development of temples and temple ordinances, and about the restoration of true Sabbath worship. Also included are chapters on the historical development of sustaining members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve as prophets, seers, and revelators; and the harmony and counsel needed in their declaring doctrine and making administrative decisions.
