Description: New Witnesses For God, Vol 2: The Book Of Mormon by B. H. Roberts. 1909 Rare LDS book. 3e5 “New Witnesses for God, Vol. 2: The Book of Mormon” by B.H. Roberts, published in 1909, is part of a three-volume series defending the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith and the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. In this second volume, Roberts focuses on providing a thorough defense of the Book of Mormon as a divine text, aiming to refute critics and skeptics of the time. Key Points: 1.Historical Context of the Book of Mormon: Roberts opens by discussing the circumstances of the Book of Mormon’s coming forth, emphasizing Joseph Smith’s role as a prophet and the miraculous translation of the gold plates. He places the Book of Mormon in the context of divine revelation in the restoration of the gospel. 2.Divine Authenticity and Purpose: The book explores the divine purposes of the Book of Mormon, stating that it was intended to testify of Jesus Christ and serve as another witness of the Bible. Roberts emphasizes that its primary message is Christ’s atonement and the salvation of humanity. He argues that the Book of Mormon complements the Bible and helps restore truths lost or misunderstood over time. 3.Response to Criticism: Roberts spends significant time countering arguments made by critics who challenge the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. He addresses issues such as the origin of the text, the plausibility of its ancient American setting, and criticisms of its language and narrative style. Roberts critiques rival theories, including those suggesting that Joseph Smith wrote the book or borrowed heavily from contemporary sources. 4.Archaeological and Linguistic Evidence: The author attempts to correlate the contents of the Book of Mormon with archaeological and linguistic evidence available at the time. He posits that future discoveries will further validate the historical aspects of the book, though much of his defense is rooted in faith and testimony rather than conclusive evidence. 5.Spiritual Testimony: Throughout the volume, Roberts presents his personal testimony and conviction of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. He appeals to readers not only through intellectual arguments but also through the spiritual power of the book, urging them to read it with a prayerful heart to receive a personal witness of its truth. 6.Role in Latter-day Saint Theology: Finally, Roberts explains the place of the Book of Mormon within the broader theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He asserts that the book is an essential part of the church’s doctrinal foundation and is key to understanding the church’s teachings on priesthood authority, revelation, and the gathering of Israel. Conclusion: In “New Witnesses for God, Vol. 2,” B.H. Roberts provides a comprehensive defense of the Book of Mormon, addressing its critics while affirming its role as a vital scriptural witness of Jesus Christ. Roberts argues that both the intellectual evidence and the spiritual power of the book confirm its divine origin, making it a cornerstone of LDS belief.
