Summary
Twenty-four lectures on the thirteen Articles of Faith, the short statement of belief written by Joseph Smith in 1842. Talmage takes the Articles in turn — God and the Godhead, the Fall and Atonement, faith and repentance, baptism, priesthood authority, spiritual gifts, scripture, the gathering of Israel and religious freedom — and quotes scripture and other writers throughout.
