Description

"Joseph Smith's Claim—I hope you will search the Scriptures to see whether these things are not also consistent with those things which the ancient Prophets and Apostles have written. (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 29)

"Brigham Young's Statement—I will tell you who the real fanatics are ... they who adopt false principles and ideas as facts, and try to establish a superstructure upon a false foundation. ... and however ardent and zealous they may be, they may reason or argue on false premises till doomsday, and the result will be false. If our religion is of this character ... prove it to us. (Journal of Discourses 13:271)

"For more than 170 years, Mormons have built upon Joseph Smith's foundation. Is it a false foundation? A Scriptural and historical examination of some of the foundational claims makes the answer apparent." (From back cover.)
