The Seventy's Course in Theology, Fourth Year: The Atonement

Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
In an appendix there will be found a statement of "Other Views of the
Atonement" than those set forth in the body of the treatise. These are
the views of the Roman Catholic church, the great Protestant divisions
of modern Christendom, and of so-called liberal Christendom, the
latter comprised of those who accept--speaking broadly--the theory of
evolution and higher criticism.
No lessons have been formulated in this division of the work, but the
class teachers can readily make lesson formula from the divisions and
subdivisions of the matter there presented if they so elect; if not
then it may be left for the student's private perusal; or out of the
matter may be formulated special lectures, and much advantage gained by
putting the views there expounded in comparison and contrast with the
doctrines of the regular text of the Year Book.
BOOKS OF REFERENCE.
It is difficult to name books of reference for this subject; such as
are available are named repeatedly in the table references given with
each lesson, and in the body of the work. Attention should be called to
the necessity of each Seventy possessing what in previous Year Books
has been called the "Seventy's Indispensable Library." This library is
made up of the standard books of the Church on Doctrine, viz.:
_The Bible,_
_The Book of Mormon,_
_The Doctrine and Covenants,_
_The Pearl of Great Price,_ containing _the Book of Moses, the
Book of Abraham,_ and some of the _Writings of Joseph Smith._
The above books are certainly indispensable to every Seventy, and
should be owned by every member of our quorums. The First Council,
in their recommendations, added to the above list, _"Richards and
Little's Compendium of the Doctrines of the Gospel,"_ and called
the set the "Seventy's Indispensable Library." Arrangements were
made by the First Council to hav these books in suitable sizes and
uniform bindings, and obtainable in sets at special prices, and they
are still to be had in this form. It is also suggested that to these
books be added a good standard dictionary, say either the _Students'
Standard Dictionary_, Funk and Wagnall's; price, $2.50, cloth;
or _Webster's College Dictionary_; price, $3.00. These books
are recommended in cases where the unabridged dictionaries of these
publishers are considered too expensive; when the unabridged editions
can be afforded, they are all the more desirable.
The four books of Scripture referred to above are very frequently
quoted in the text of this treatise, and are the main authorities used.
Besides these it is recommended that the student obtains
_"Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord Jesus Christ,"_ by John
Taylor;
_"The Articles of Faith,"_ Talmage.
_Orson Pratt's Works, Remarkable Visions and the Kingdom of God._
(These works are cited for the benefit of those who have them. We
regret to say that the Works of this great apostle have been allowed to
go out of print.)
_"The Gospel,"_ Roberts.
