| Summary |
"A Compendium of the Doctrines of the Gospel" by Franklin D. Richards and James A. Little is a religious text written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an instructional guide for the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, addressing various doctrines derived from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other Latter-Day Saint writings. The book aims to equip church leaders, particularly the Elders, with essential materials and insights regarding key gospel principles, facilitating their understanding and teaching of these doctrines. The opening of the work introduces its purpose, laying the foundation for its comprehensive exploration of gospel principles including faith, repentance, baptism, and the atonement of Christ. The compilers emphasize the importance of scripture and prophetic teachings and depict their commitment to providing a resource that balances thoroughness with accessibility. Additionally, they highlight significant doctrines such as the necessity of baptism and the principles of free agency, setting the stage for detailed discussions that follow in the text.
