| Summary |
"Gospel Doctrine: Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Joseph F. Smith" is a collection of religious writings compiled in the early 20th century. This volume offers an extensive selection of sermons and teachings from Joseph F. Smith, the sixth President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, focusing on essential doctrines and principles of the Latter-day Saints' faith. The primary topic of the book revolves around foundational truths of the gospel, the eternal nature of the church and its members, and practical guidance for living a righteous life. The opening of the book features a preface and introduction by the compilers, explaining their motivation to gather the numerous writings of Joseph F. Smith into a single text for the benefit of the faithful. It emphasizes the value of President Smith's teachings on gospel truth, the plan of salvation, and the responsibilities of church members, highlighting the importance of building one's life on eternal truth. The beginning clearly establishes a reverent tone towards gospel teachings and a desire to create a resource that can inspire and instruct future generations of Saints in their spiritual journeys and everyday practices.
