Om författaren
Brigham Henry Roberts (1857–1933) was a seminal figure in the intellectual and ecclesiastical life of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). An accomplished historian, theologian, and a member of the LDS Church’s First Council of the Seventy, Roberts was instrumental in articulating and defending the faith’s doctrines and history. His work ’A New Witness for God’ is regarded as a landmark apologetic work in which Roberts systematically presented evidence to support the divine calling of Joseph Smith, the prophet-founder of the LDS Church, and the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. This comprehensive treatise, spanning three volumes, remains an essential reference for scholars of American religious history and Mormon doctrine. Roberts’ literary style in his apologetic works reflected a rigorous approach to historical documentation, often synthesizing copious sources to present his arguments persuasively, employing a prose that combined scholarly acumen with a fervent testimony of his faith. Renowned for his eloquence as a speaker and his prolific writings, Roberts’ legacy transcends that of a mere apologist; he was also a historian with significant contributions to the ’History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’. His deep commitment to both intellectual pursuits and spiritual endeavors makes him a complex and significant figure in the canon of American religious thought and Mormon historiography.
