Volume 1: Introduction and Proem
What Is Mormonism? Apostasy, Orthodoxy, and the Eternal Gospel
The opening volume frames the whole series: what Mormonism claims about itself, what the “great apostasy” means in early-Christian terms, how orthodoxy formed — and the case for an eternal gospel underlying restoration claims. It sets the method the later volumes follow: ancient texts first, then the Latter-day Saint reading of them.
