Summary "The Hand of Providence: As Shown in the History of Nations and Individuals" by Elder J. H. Ward is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the concept of divine providence throughout history, focusing on significant events from the Great Apostasy to the Restoration of the Gospel. Major themes include the injustices faced by early Christians, the rise and spread of Islam, the Crusades, and the evolution of societies influenced by these faiths. The opening of the book sets a somber tone, discussing the destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent apostasy of the early Christian church. It outlines the brutal siege led by the Romans under Emperor Titus, where extreme famine and internal conflict led to horrific acts of desperation among the population. This historical account emphasizes the belief that these events were part of a larger divine plan, suggesting that the injustices endured and the suffering of the faithful were instrumental in the unfolding of God's providential design. The author aims to instill a sense of purpose in the reader by highlighting the overarching narrative of faith and redemption amidst historical turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
