"Defense of the Faith and the Saints (Volume 2 of 2)" by B. H. (Brigham Henry) Roberts is a detailed exploration into the origins of the Book of Mormon, crafted in the form of a theological defense. The book tackles various theories surrounding the creation and historical background of this sacred text, aiming to protect Mormon beliefs from criticism, especially accusations of plagiarism involving figures such as Solomon Spaulding. Beginning with a debate involving Roberts and Theodore Schroeder, the work systematically examines the Book of Mormon's origins, underlining the importance of addressing critical viewpoints that challenge its divine authenticity. Roberts highlights key individuals, including Spaulding, and addresses controversies and conflicting views on the manuscript's alleged sources and ties to Mormon leaders like Sidney Rigdon. The overarching goal is to systematically refute the accusations against the Book of Mormon and fortify followers' faith by presenting arguments and evidence that support its divine inspiration.
