"I examine the question of authority in Christian traditions with the same assumptions that Alfred Cordon took to his encounter with Brabazon Ellis. I approach my task as an historian who believes that divine authority is vested in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and as one who is willing to openly investigate all other claims with dilligence. I recognize, as Joseph Smith put it, that 'it may seem to some to be a very bold doctrine that we talk of' (D&C 128:9). Given that bold doctrine, my words may sound apologetic or combatative to some. That is not my intention. My desire is to explicate Mormonism's historical claims to divine authority along with a particularly Mormon epistemology. I will put my faith on display for examination, leaving judgment about its merits or weaknesses to readers." [From author's introduction]
