The Seventy's Course in Theology, Third Year

B.H. Roberts was one of the most formidable intellectual minds in early Mormonism, and this volume represents a rigorous examination of fundamental questions about divine existence. Written as part of a structured course for LDS priesthood leaders, the text builds systematically toward an understanding of God's character through philosophical argumentation rather than scripture study alone. Roberts examines God's existence through the lens of creation, human consciousness, and the classical 'First Cause' argument, weaving together scriptural insight with traditional theological reasoning. The work aims to deepen faith not through emotional appeal alone but through careful intellectual engagement with the deepest questions of metaphysics. For Latter-day Saints seeking to ground their belief in philosophical rigor, or for anyone interested in how early 20th-century religious thinkers engaged with classical and modern philosophy, this volume offers a serious, substantive exploration of what it means to know and understand God.
