The King Follett Discourse is a sermon delivered by Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at the funeral of King Follett. It is considered a significant doctrinal text, offering insights into the nature of God, the potential for human progression, and the eternal nature of the family. The discourse emphasizes the concept of exaltation and the possibility of becoming like God. It also discusses the premortal existence and the plan of salvation. The King Follett Discourse is valued for its profound theological insights and its emphasis on the potential for human growth and development.

The Book of Mormon is a scripture that tells the story of a group of Hebrews who migrated from Jerusalem to the Americas around 600 BCE. It describes their history, including their division into two main groups: the Nephites and the Lamanites. The book emphasizes the appearance of Jesus Christ to these people after his resurrection, where he teaches them and establishes his church. It also discusses various doctrinal topics such as the fall of Adam and Eve, the nature of God, baptism, and the importance of faith and repentance. The book ends with Moroni's testimony and an invitation to readers to come unto Christ and be perfected in him.

The Lectures on Faith are a series of seven theological lectures that represent one of the earliest attempts to formulate a systematic Latter-day Saint theology. They were delivered by Joseph Smith and possibly Sidney Rigdon to a group of elders in the School of the Elders in Kirtland, Ohio, during the winter of 1834-35. The lectures emphasize the importance of faith, defining it and outlining the necessary conditions for its exercise: the idea that God exists, a correct idea of His character and attributes, and a knowledge that one's course of life is in accordance with His will. These lectures were initially included in the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants but were later removed in 1921 due to concerns about some of the theological statements.
