A New Witness for God (Volume 1 of 3), written by B. H. Roberts and first published in 1895, is a theological examination of Mormonism's origins and claims. The author argues that Joseph Smith is a modern prophet who restores ancient Christianity, countering the idea of a complete apostasy from original Christian teachings. The book provides a preface that outlines the historical context of the Latter-day Saints and addresses misconceptions about them, setting the stage for discussions on the necessity of a new dispensation of the Gospel and the divine authority of Smith.
