About This Book

A systematic, scripture-based exposition of foundational doctrines taught within the author's religious tradition. Beginning with definitions of salvation, it treats both general and individual aspects, then examines faith, scripture, revelation, and the character of God; it outlines repentance, baptism, the reception and nature of the Holy Ghost, priesthood authority, and laws of spiritual development. The text also surveys historical context and the doctrine of salvation for the dead, and includes a supplemental discussion of humanity's relationship to deity. The tone is didactic and intended as a practical instructional manual for the faith's youth.
