Reader Reviews
This review is from: Comprehensive History of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Hardcover)
This is the interpretative history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, written by B. H. Roberts to commemorate the Church's centennial in 1930. It differs from the "History of the Church," also known also as the "Documentary History of the Church," because the straightforward history of the Church is just Joseph Smith's history and journals-raw data-but does not have any analysis or explanation. Moreover, the straightforward History of the Church only covers 1805-1844, with a seventh volume covering the exodus, while the Comprehensive History of the Church covers 1830-1930. Both are good, and you have Elder Roberts' keen eye and sharp mind handling some of the most intense times, spiritually speaking, in the history of the world.
