Summary "Essentials in Church History" by Joseph Fielding Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spanning from the life of its founder, Joseph Smith, to contemporary times. It addresses pivotal events, doctrines, and revelations that have shaped the Church's development and emphasizes the importance of understanding both its historical context and the spiritual significance of its teachings. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Church history. It begins with a preface that states the need for a concise yet thorough account of the Church's history, highlighting the selection of essential points arranged in a chronological order. Smith expresses the hope that this work will inspire readers to engage in deeper studies of related histories. The first chapters focus on the antiquity of the Gospel, discussing its existence prior to modern religious traditions, the concept of apostasy, and the significance of Joseph Smith's prophetic revelations. This introduction establishes not only a historical narrative but also a doctrinal foundation crucial for understanding later developments within the Church.
