About the Product:
A detailed examination of the government of God-the priesthood organization of the Church-from the very beginning of the Restoration to the present day.
"This book is truly a first. Never has such detail about so important a subject been presented in one fascinating volume. I learned so much, I felt like I knew nothing about the priesthood before reading this book. "-Richard R. Hopkins, author of Biblical Mormonism, and How· Greek Philosophy Corrupted the Christian Concept pf God. .. .
The introduction of each office of the priesthood is discussed here along with the development of that office, into its present-day position in the Church. Every period of Church history is covered, Joseph Smith's first vision, the restoration and organization of the Church, the Kirtland period, Missouri, the Nauvoo era, early growth in Utah and the present worldwide expansion. The author, Associate Research Director at FARMS (BYU), illustrates how the Lord has modified and added to the organization and government. of the Church as it grew from six members to a worldwide body with widely diversified membership. The questions of critics are answered with a clear testimony that God truly has and will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Extensively documented from numerous sources, including the original source material for the Doctrine & Covenants, and many previously unpublished manuscripts available only through the Church Historian's office. This is the definitive answer to Mormon, Inc. and similar works.
