The Articles of Faith A Series of Lectures on the Principal Doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

"The Articles of Faith" by James E. Talmage is a collection of lectures that explain the core beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book starts by highlighting why studying theology is important and then describes the main ideas behind the faith. It talks about who God is, how the Godhead works, and how the gospel was brought back through Joseph Smith getting messages from God. Talmage's goal is to give readers a strong base of knowledge about the church's teachings so they can understand the more complicated stuff later on. The book seems to be written to help church members learn more and to answer questions people might have about what the LDS Church believes.
