"The Lectures on Faith" by Joseph Smith is an exploration of religious doctrine from the 1800s. This book goes over important ideas central to the Latter Day Saints. These ideas are mostly centered around the concept of faith; what it means, how it works spiritually, and how important it is to understanding God. The author explains the importance of faith as the starting point for religious belief, and how it is needed to act on unseen belief. The book uses the Bible to show how faith is how we can be sure of future things, and how this drives our actions. Further exploration into the functions of faith on the earth and in the spirit is detailed via examples in the scriptures and human history with God. From here, even more complex concepts about faith can be explained, like the traits of God, and how this exploration is vital to the Latter Day Saints.
