Summary "The Gospel: An Exposition of its First Principles" by B. H. Roberts is a theological work written in the late 19th century. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the foundational principles of the gospel from a Latter-day Saint perspective, aimed primarily at the youth of the Church. The author seeks to clarify and elaborate on the fundamental beliefs of the gospel, tackling topics such as faith, repentance, baptism, and the atonement of Jesus Christ. The opening of the text presents the author's intent, stating that the work is designed to instruct the next generation in the core tenets of their faith. Roberts explains the necessity of understanding the gospel not just intellectually but also in practice, reinforcing the idea that the principles of the gospel must be actively lived out to be truly effective. He highlights the difference in exposure to gospel teachings between the previous generation and the youth of Zion, emphasizing that many young believers may lack foundational knowledge due to reliance on their parents' faith. The author expresses a hope that through careful study of the book, readers will strengthen their faith and come to a clearer understanding of the gospel's teachings.
