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.

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.

This book provides a detailed commentary on the Book of Daniel, offering insights and interpretations of the biblical text. Written by renowned biblical scholar Raymond Edward Brown, it is part of the Pamphlet Bible Series and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the scripture.
