Referred to by some as perhaps B.H. Roberts' most important historical work, A Comprehensive History was published on April 6, 1930, the centennial of the Mormon Church's founding. Within its six volumes, Roberts chronicled the Mormon Church from its beginnings to the then present day, publishing major portions of its history, much of it for the first time. Not solely meant as a faith-promoting work, Roberts also sought within it to disprove many of the historical myths of Mormonism, utilizing the many different primary and secondary sources available to him at that time.
