"A New Witness for God (Volume 1 of 3)" by B. H. (Brigham Henry) Roberts is a study of Mormonism that presents it as a restored form of early Christianity, not an entirely new faith. The book defends Joseph Smith as a modern prophet with vital, new revelations, claiming a major departure from original Christian teachings made this restoration necessary. The author starts by explaining the history and common misunderstandings of the Latter-day Saints. Arguing that old Christian sources don't meet today's spiritual challenges, the book introduces the idea of needing a new divine witness. This setup prepares the reader for arguments about why a new Gospel era was needed, why the early Christian church supposedly declined, and why Joseph Smith’s prophetic role is divinely supported, laying down core doctrines for anyone wanting to understand Mormon beliefs.
