"The Seventy's Course in Theology, First Year" by B. H. Roberts is a religious educational manual written in the early 20th century. This work is aimed primarily at members of the Seventy within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, focusing on intellectual development and spiritual empowerment through theological study. The book delves into the history and organization of the Seventy and provides a structured examination of the sacred texts recognized by the Church, including the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The opening of this course introduces its foundational principles and outlines the initial lessons centered on the history, responsibilities, and significance of the Seventy. It emphasizes the necessity of mental engagement and spiritual growth as essential to fulfilling their divine duties. The text argues for a thorough understanding of the scriptures, warning against the dangers of isolating texts from their historical and contextual backgrounds. The introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive approach to studying the scriptures in a manner that fosters better comprehension of their interconnectedness and encourages personal development within a framework of faithful service.
