[Gutenberg 60490] • The Seventy's Course in Theology, Second Year / Outline History of the Dispensations of the Gospel

In the opening pages of the first volume in the Seventy's Course in Theology, B.H. Roberts states that, "To become a Seventy means mental activity, intellectual development, and the attainment of spiritual power." Making the Seventy's Quorums of the Mormon Church of his day the equal of their scriptural predecessors was one of the goals of these volumes. Designed to be used over a five-year period, these volumes were to be used to teach the Seventies the history of their own calling, a survey of the holy scriptures, a history of the dispensations of the Gospel, the Doctrine of Deity, the Atonement, and of the concept of Divine Immanence and the Holy Ghost.
