What the annotated edition adds for readers, classes and study groups.
Updated
Appendix B — The Plan of Salvation at a Glance
A 15-stage chart following the order of the plan as Seaich presents it, with the chapters treating each stage. Labeled an editor’s addition (2026).
Appendix C — Frequently Asked Questions
Five short answers drawn from Seaich’s text, with chapter references. An aid to reading, not an official Church statement; it says where Seaich’s views differ from current Church teaching. The website FAQ carries ten questions with fuller answers.
Appendix D — Questions for Study Groups
Three questions for each chapter, for Sunday School classes, interfaith discussion groups, book clubs and personal study.
Glossary of Special Terms
Specialized terminology explained in the back matter.
Bibliography of Modern Sources
Expanded for this edition. Entries have not yet had an entry-by-entry verification audit; see the editorial method.
Scripture Index (generated draft)
878 distinct citations from Chapters 1–25, grouped by scripture collection. Generated, not hand-checked, and labeled as a draft until the check is complete.
For study groups
Every chapter has three discussion questions in Appendix D, and every chapter page on this site carries the chapter’s “In brief” summary, useful for preparing a session. Browse the chapters.
How to summarize a comparative argument
When you summarize one of Seaich’s comparisons, separate four things: Seaich’s interpretation (what he argues), historical evidence (what the cited sources establish), alternative interpretations (where scholars or traditions disagree) and further reading.
Independent scholarship by Eugene Seaich. Not an official publication of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
