| Summary | "Defense of the Faith and the Saints (Volume 2 of 2)" by B. H. Roberts is a comprehensive theological treatise written in the early 20th century. This volume primarily discusses the origins of the Book of Mormon, addressing various theories regarding its authorship and the historical context surrounding its compilation. The book is likely aimed at defending the principles of Mormonism against critical scrutiny, particularly focusing on the accusations of plagiarism linked to individuals like Solomon Spaulding. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a detailed examination of the origins of the Book of Mormon through a debate format involving multiple authors, including Roberts and Theodore Schroeder. In the beginning, Roberts outlines the necessity of responding to critical perspectives that question the divine authenticity of the Book of Mormon. He introduces key figures involved in the discourse, such as Solomon Spaulding, and notes the controversies surrounding claims made by opponents of the faith, particularly focusing on contrasting viewpoints regarding the manuscript's alleged origins and connections to early Mormon leaders like Sidney Rigdon. The narrative is designed to systematically counter the assertions against the Book of Mormon and strengthen the faith of its adherents by reviewing evidence and arguments supporting its divine origin.
