Wrestling with the Restoration
Think about what you know about the Restoration. Maybe dates or names of people come to mind. Maybe you think about miracles or remember particular stories. Or maybe difficult topics come up—questions of faith and history.
Now think about how you know what you know. Can you think of specific sources you’ve learned from? What assumptions have you made about what you’ve learned?
In Wrestling with the Restoration, acclaimed historian Steven C. Harper asks us to slow down and ponder our own knowledge of the Restoration. How do we know what we know, and what does the Restoration do for us? Through short, accessible chapters each focused on a different lesson taught by the Restoration, this book frankly addresses hard questions and concerns and will help you understand what the Restoration teaches us about God and grow a deeper testimony of why it matters.
