Summary |
"New Witnesses for God (Volume 2 of 3)" by B. H. Roberts is a theological work that was written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses specifically on the Book of Mormon and seeks to provide evidence for its authenticity, significance, and divine origin from a Latter-day Saint perspective. The text argues for the Book of Mormon's role as a witness to the truth of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, asserting that its claims must be understood and affirmed within the broader context of Joseph Smith's prophetic mission. The opening of this work serves to establish the foundational arguments for the Book of Mormon, beginning with reflections on the challenges of biblical criticism in the 19th century. Roberts outlines the historical and theological importance of the Book of Mormon, postulating that if it can be proven true, then it reinforces the credibility of biblical scripture. He discusses how the Nephite record serves as a testimony of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and highlights the book's significance not only as a companion to Biblical scripture but also as a vital record of Christ's presence and teachings among the Nephite people after His resurrection. This portion lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of specific themes within the Book of Mormon and prepares the reader for an in-depth examination of its evidences and the objections raised against it.
