Where this text comes from
The lectures were taught in the winter of 1834–35 and printed in 1835 as the “Doctrine” part of the first Doctrine and Covenants. They have not been printed in the Church’s Doctrine and Covenants since 1921. Every lecture is printed “Of Faith”; the topic under each lecture’s number is added here only to help you find your way. Paragraph numbers and cross-references are shown but not read.
