Publisher's Synopsis
A Short History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by John Henry Evans is a comprehensive account of the origins and development of the Mormon Church. The book traces the history of the Church from its founding in 1830 by Joseph Smith, through its tumultuous early years, its westward expansion, and its growth into a global religion. Evans examines the key theological and doctrinal tenets of the Church, including its unique beliefs about the nature of God, the role of the Book of Mormon, and the practice of baptism for the dead. He also explores the social, political, and cultural context in which the Church emerged, including its relationship with other religious groups and its impact on American society. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to the history of the Mormon Church for both scholars and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
