| Summary |
"Discourses of Brigham Young" by Brigham Young is a collection of teachings and sermons written in the late 19th century. It features a systematic presentation of Young's interpretation of the Gospel, emphasizing its practical applications in everyday life and the importance of its principles for personal and communal well-being. The volume sets out to provide insights into Young's contributions as a spiritual leader and community organizer within the Latter-day Saint movement. The opening of the text includes a preface that outlines Brigham Young's legacy as a leader who shaped the Great Intermountain West and his role as the second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It highlights Young's call to preach the "Gospel of Life and Salvation," emphasizing his belief in a practical religion that applies eternal principles to daily life. The introduction also establishes that through Brigham Young's discourses, readers will access a coherent system of faith that demonstrates the relationship between spiritual laws and earthly existence, laying the groundwork for understanding the forthcoming chapters.
