How does a faith explain what it believes—and why those beliefs shape a life?

In The Articles of Faith, James E. Talmage explores the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through thirteen short statements by Joseph Smith. He follows them in order, from the nature of God to the duties of daily life. Each belief comes with reasons, supporting scripture, and answers to likely objections.

Talmage brings the habits of a scientist and teacher to questions of sin, salvation, authority, and revelation. His account speaks from within the faith, showing how a believer reasons from scripture to doctrine. Alongside teachings about Christ and the future of the earth, he examines freedom of conscience, respect for law, and the call to do good.
