H. Roberts\u2014historian, theologian, and defender of the Latter-day Saint faith. Compiled and edited by Chad L. Nielsen, this accessible introduction brings together a biographical sketch, a chronology, and selected writings on Jesus Christ, the Atonement, scripture, revelation, and the relationship between faith and reason.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring a foreword by Stephen O. Smoot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book will be the launching point of FAIR\u2019s <em>In Their Own Words<\/em> series. Inspired by previous series about the life and thought of significant figures in Latter-day Saint history, including two series published by Deseret Book and Signature Books, we were excited by the idea of continuing that work in a new series that would feature significant figures in Latter-day Saint history, with an emphasis on people who had not previously been featured. (Though, ironically, Roberts was featured in the Signature Books series<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.) The next volume is going to focus on Wilford Woodruff, building on over a decade of research in connection with my Zerah Pulsipher biography. We are in the early planning stages, but hope to have future volumes focus on significant women, like Emmeline B. Wells and Susa Young Gates, alongside men in the Church&#8217;s history like John Taylor and J. Golden Kimball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fairlatterdaysaints.org\/store\/product\/b-h-roberts-warhorse-of-the-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B. H.
