New Light on the Atonement

by Chad Morris

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we sometimes dont realize how unique much of our doctrine is on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The Lord revealed through the young Prophet Joseph Smith important truths that had been lost regarding our Redeemers great sacrifice. Were Adam and Eve forgiven for the Fall? Is it possible that there will be two separate resurrections? Will we inherit our Heavenly Fathers kingdom? The answers to these truths are familiar to most Latter-day Saints today. However, there was a time when these revelations were not widely available; a time when Satan was desperately trying to keep these revolutionary truths buried in darkness. A first of its kind, Chad Morriss book New Light on the Atonement focuses on the first two years of the organized Church and the events surrounding the revelations that we now take for granted. Readers now have the opportunity to gain a greater knowledge of Joseph Smith and the restored truths that came through him regarding the most important sacrifice of all time, the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

This small book presents comprehensive survey of truths about Christ's atonement revealed and preached by Joseph Smith in chronological order, whether the teachings came through scripture, revelation later collected in the Doctrine and Covenants, or through Joseph's discourses. The book examines the unique insights about Christ's sacrifice that form the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ's beliefs and doctrines.
