About

While some consider these points to be of little consequence, the latter-day saints need and deserve a consistent message about how their faith’s book came to be, and what it’s message is. Is it a mere fiction, or does it represent a real history, as it claims? Fortunately, the Lord has provided messages on these points through his servants for centuries, and their word should be given higher priority than claims of scholars.
